But without Facebook, how will you learn about the video of a cat playing chopsticks with chopsticks?!?
I like phones: Keeping in touch with the wife and kids is essential. And the camera quality on phones is good enough that I rarely use a real SLR camera anymore.
I like social media: Around here, Facebook groups are a great way to meet up with others for a ride or run. I also get to see what cousins, nieces and nephews, and friends that don't live close by are up to.
Sometimes I turn my phone off for my commute (perhaps if the battery was getting low). Other times I have made calls and even texted while I ride, but only on a slow, neighborhood street (don't start flaming me).
