Yes.  But I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing.  Facebook, for instance, has allowed me to reconnect with dozens of people I never would have found if Facebook didn't exist. 
I'm with you there.  Plus I find it easier to chat online.

However, I'm not a take my "computer on my phone with me" sort.

I did forget to add, that Facebook has in some ways enriched my life... It has brought me back in contact with some beloved cousins, and old friends whom I lost track with.  They are now new friends 20 years later and I'm better for it.

I have a FB acct, only because I'll be going to college after this semester.
I have a PSN act just to get a car from Midnight Club: LA
I have a Youtube channel just for liking music
I have this acct.

Twitter is stupid, I don't like to have internet on my cell phone, which is usually dead and/or placed somewhere I don't remember, and I don't have a laptop (yet) nor an iPod (mine died a while back)
yeah no.

 have a sitonmyFacebook account-but I dont frequent it too often-it automatically posts pics from my Tumblr account-which is a photo sharing site.

And I have you guys,of course...where I hang out 90% of the time when I am online.  :smile:

Aside from my home here, I only post on the IMDB and a Moody Blues board ~ I check my FB account probably no more than once a week, not more. I could actually do without Twitter and stuff like that.
A Moody Blues board.....? How cool!  :wink:
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.
