So, remember when all you had to do to keep someone from contacting you was to not give them your phone number?  And if that person got your phone number, all you had to do to keep from having to deal with them was to look at caller ID and not pick up the phone?  Now you’re a Facebook, MySpace, Linked In, and/or Google search away from your biggest admirers.  Remember when you could tell your parents you were going to the library, but you were really going to a heavy metal concert?  Now with parents crawling all over social-networking sites, and with every idiot having a phone that takes pictures which said idiots insist on uploading to the interwebs and tagging into oblivion, good luck lying and not getting caught!  Kids are fucked.  Remember when flirting required some sort of human interaction?  Now you can just “like” and “poke” around on Facebook until something happens.  Social-networking is raising a generation of people who will be incapable of initiating a face to face conversation.  I have seen two individuals on opposite sides of a table, each with a laptop, communicating to each other via instant messenger.  To think, I used to get annoyed when my sisters would call me from another room to ask me a question.  Don’t’ even get me started on people who believe Twitter is a substitute for reading the news.
