"I wouldn’t have been able to have the conversation with Max that prompted this discussion if he hadn’t seen my Facebook status and chatted with me after noticing I was online."

Communication is not Facebook. Non-Facebook users have an equal interpersonal experience to that of a user.

We are free to spend our time seeking satisfaction any way we like, and it is nearly always more efficient to communicate using other tools.
