Another FB rant thread. Was there any point to this pointless thread being started?. Ok, I'll bite..
There are definitely two schools of thought towards Facebook: those who use it, have a bit of fun with it, keep in contact with friend, family etc.,
The other type is one who looks down on people who use FB in an underhanded, derogatory manner all the while crapping on about how they don't use/never used Facebook or any form or social media like it's some superior badge of honour.

Nothing can replace physical contact.. even forum is way better than FB. The confidence in "contacts" expressed on FB does not relate to reality at all.

The feeling of connection is "totally false" ? Remember "totally false" in your opinion only. And a forum like IIS is "way better" than FB? Not in my world/life because I have far more reaching interests than this little hobby.
I connect with friends, family, work colleagues and work contacts interstate and around the world, share travel stories, meet in person when traveling interstate and overseas, swap ideas and thoughts, arrange reunions and group catch-ups in places from airport lounges to pubs - like many millions of people do, so I don't subscribe to your theory that the feeling of connection is "totally false".
For the record, Facebook allows me to keep in contact with family and friends all over the globe, in a cheap and instant way, no STD call charges for 10, 20 or 30 years ago.
