I don't want a social life. - Kaia is a party pooper.
Can't lose something that you didn't have to begin with. (I mean the general "you"). - Helen Hoefele
Brilliant. - IAmGHOSTBLOGGER.com-BradW
If you use it incorrectly, or you don't pay attention to how you're using it (which many probably are), then yes, this might be true. But if you continue to value the people around you and human interaction, then this isn't true. Just my two cents. - Kate Brodock

Not having a social life is what got me into computers in the first place... - Jason R. Hunter
Internet communities are a social life (as was "pen pals" in a previous age). Does it really matter if you meet people "in person"? If so, perhaps we'll have more FriendFeed gatherings in the future. FlyerTalk.com people regularly have "DO"s around the world. ~200 of my Facebook friends are dance/Burning-Man friends who dance/party every week. - Mitchell Tsai
Having a social life never did anything good for me. I like my online peeps much better. - Bec
If I didn't have an online life I wouldn't have a life offline. All the people I know and like I've met online. My friend/coworker only lives in MD because she met her boyfriend online. I met the partner-in-crime online. I found a dog breeder online... - Nine (sawsome aus)
Wait, so we're not being social right now? - Mona N.
Yes. This is antisocial media. Now git offa mah lawn. - Nine (sawsome aus)
Mona apparently not?! huh?! :*) - Susan Beebe
I've been online for so long, I can actually tell how a person is in real life by the way the conduct themselves online. And truth be told, I prefer my online friends since it's a collective folks with similar interests. - Mona N.
It can still be a real surprise meeting an on-line friend for the first time. Screechy voice. Unusual accents. Very different look from pictures. Surprise about height. Depending on the person, some people are easier to get-to-know on-line...others are much easier to connect with in person. - Mitchell Tsai
I met my wife online. We've been together over ten years. - Ian Hussein Maverick May
What social life???? - Amit Morson
This sounds like a fun game, Mona. Guess my age and weight and win the prize! - Daniel J. Pritchett
THE FUTURE OF! Now get off my entry! You associal folks! :) - directeur
Scientific American (Sep 2008?) suggested that the "increased information sharing" in Facebook and other social media may produce a "primitive society" or "small town" effect where the community knows most of what's happening - for better or for worse. Their view was very old-school - concerned about allowing people the "opportunity to reinvent themselves" and running away from (concealing) a past where they badly f**ked up. - Mitchell Tsai
