So many people use facebook to communicate, like they forgot to use a phone or get together for a coffee. Facebook posts and communicating the same thing can be interpreted so differently. You don''''t hear the voice, see the facial expression, etc.  
 
This was on my timeline this morning as a friend liked this post - how far do you go?  
 
"Sorry it ends this way, to my children. On Facebook, the lowest form of communication. You cut me off, read everything, stop judging. I miss you all. Hate me or understand. Dad"  
 
Then he had some posts ranting and raving about his ex-wife.  
 
Of course we don''t know the whole story, but this seems to take it too far - facebook will be the death of family and friends.

Facebook causes many problems within family and friends. As soon as I got married my husband and I closed all social media sites, and we have never looked back since. That amount of people knowing too many personal things, is never good. I stick with calling, going and visiting, or even writing a letter (my older family members REALLY love it). Plus, I found that the time spent on my phone was ridiculous... If you look at people waking outside or in the stores 95% will have phones in their hand ... My goodness, if people took all that time they invest in social media (I'll add tv watching and video gaming in here too) and put it toward beneficial pastimes, things would be a lot better in our community/country and world...
