WTF do you mean I cannot live without social networks. I am NOT a social networker. Social networks started some 14 or 15 years after the start of the web.

As I earn my living on the web as a full time writer, etc. of course, I'm on the web all the time. 'phisical'? Do you mean 'physical?"

I use one social networking site 'Facebook' to keep in touch with my friends. I am there for about 5 minutes or 10 minutes ever day or two. How the hell does that make me a slave?

I have lived on mulitple continents and in multiple countries. The people I know on social networks date back to school days - somewhere between 50 and 60 years ago. Social networking enables us all to keep in touch with each other without having to write long letters or expending money on long international calls.

You are talking complete and utter nonsense. The very fact that you have not been involved in any of this, and I have no doubt that you are repeating what you have heard elsewhere, means you don't have the knowledge to make these statements.

I can give you a 100% guarantee that you heard this from other people - a church, or some such organisation. You couldn't possibly have arrived at this conclusion on your own without extensive experience, and as you have admitted, you don't have any.
