I have a friend from high school (25 years old) who doesn't have Facebook and who doesn't have texting on his phone (it's completely blocked, so if you text him it gets bounced back). I honestly don't know how he communicates in this modern world like that.
Facebook was launched my senior year of high school and by the time I cam home on winter break my freshman year of college many of my friends at bigger state schools like OSU were on and wondered why I wasn't. Well, I went to a tiny college and we hadn't been added to Facebook yet. About a month into my sophomore year my school was finally on Facebook and I signed up the day we were added. Having been in before Facebook and after Facebook I cannot overstate the impact that it had and how much it changed the college experience.
I still use Facebook quite extensively. If I'm on my computer the my web browser will be open and Facebook is always the first tab. I use it to keep up with friends, communicate with family members living across the country, and especially to communicate with the students in my youth group. I use it for fun, personal use, and for my job. When you add up all the times I just glance at it and check updates, plus when I use it on my phone, I'm on Facebook probably 1.5-2 hours a day.
