All of that struck a chord with me, Isabella. One thing I used to notice, on the rare occasions I visited someone's home, was how often the phone seemed to ring. Mine would go for days or weeks without ringing. I don't even know what Facebook is, by the way....
It's this strange world where you get to see thousands of your friends' photos and thousands of their personal updates about their private lives. I don't venture into that realm of it (that's what I mean by "I don't have them in my newsfeed"). I don't usually look at anyone's updates. I only use it for the PM feature similar to what we have on WP (private hello messages and one-on-one chat, which is also very rare for me). I got bored and looked at their updates from the past few years. Spontaneous parties with fifty or sixty people crammed into someone's house or yard, costume parties, new cars, vacations with big groups of drunk friends, details on all the fancy restaurants and purchases and sporting events .... some of them had over 1000 friends in their friend list.
I felt like a freak. I have 22 friends and 19 of them are family members who live around the world. That's the only way we communicate, using the private messages which I don't even use.
You haven't missed much.
