I don't want to learn things on facebook anymore. Not small day-to-day things, those are fine. But big, life events of "friends". Like finding out someone's engaged/expecting/in a relationship/married. Maybe the problem is that facebook causes us to be TOO connected. What if we learned things through the good old-fashioned grape vine? What if we knew things about people because we actually saw them and talked with them on a semi-regular basis. I'm tired of knowing people superficially and losing out on close friendships that once were. Is it better to just not hear about things? I don't know. Sometimes I think "hearing" things online hurts just a bit more.
