OK More Computer Chatting

So today I hooked up with facebook. My friend sent me an invitation twice and I had to bite. I thought three email accounts would do me, but chatting on twitter and facebook seems to be taking the place of IMing. If you can't stay in touch then nobody is listening. I really don't see how the younger generation keeps up with all the texting, cell phones and now these additional connection. Heaven help us if we really have to talk in person. When I was a kid, mom said anything that took longer than five minutes to say on our party line needed to be said in person. My, times have changed!
