Anti-social network?

I'm sure you've seen articles and such that claim social networking is making us less social. And there is truth in that, but only if it has consumed you. I'll talk more about that at the end. I counter, that social networking has made us more social. Let me give you a few examples. There's this kid who lives in Nebraska, he's a friend of a friend. I was introduced to him on Skype, and now we're really good friends. Is that anti-social? There's this girl, she used to live her until not long ago. I met her in person, but she lives upstate. Is talking to her on Facebook anti-social? You see, when used properly, these social networking outlets can make you more social! I've met more friends and talked with so many great friends through things such as Facebook and texting. But there is a catch, these very social activities become anti-social if you become addicted to them. I'll be the first to admit that I am on Facebook all day long, and that's a real problem. But when used properly they can really strengthen friendships. So yeah.
