Will Facebook be the downfall of my generation?

That's a very good question, and I sometimes wonder the same thing. But, like you said, it's good for keeping in touch with people you hardly see. That's what I try to use it for, so it actually serves a good purpose. Also for when I have quick homework questions. Maybe you'll find more purposes later, but for now maybe you could just use it for that, and make a point to grow in your relationships outside of facebook. I don't know what to say about the rest of us, but maybe you could encourage your friends to do the same thing. Hopefully the rest (or a good chunk) of facebook picks up on the risks and benefits, and thinks about how they live out their relationships. Good for you for being conscious of it. I have to take intentional breaks from it time to time too.
