You are certainly entitled to your opinion and if you don't want to be on Facebook, I applaude you standing by your principles. For me personally, I have to respectfully disagree.

I have found FB to be an excellent way to stay in touch--it has put me in touch with friends from grammar school, junior and senior high, and college. We have a family page where siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, and parents can stay in touch on a daily basis. FB is just a tool for communication (just like TOTV) and anything that enhances communication between friends and relatives is OK in my book.

I don't find that it adds to stress, in fact, I find it one of my more relaxing activities.

It is certainly not for everyone, and there are people who become addicted to it (just like other message boards and social media sites) and others who abuse it, but if it is used as a tool (like TOTV, cell phones, email, snail mail, etc.) it can be very beneficial.

Just my $.02
