Has Facebook been good or bad for your social life?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on July 31, 2010
“I think it’s been mostly good, not everyone that I am friends with on Facebook is my real life friend … sometimes I hide them, but I do approve them.”
— Jenny O'Malley, CNA, Lawrence
“Neither because the people that I know and talk to on it are the same people I know and talk to in real life.”
— Jessica Heyman, masters student, Oakland
“I’d say it’s been good for my social life because there’s a couple of friends I have gotten closer with from high school that I wouldn’t have gotten back together with if they hadn’t found me on Facebook.”
— Lindsey Burch, teacher, Overland Park
“It’s been about the same, hasn’t changed much. I don’t talk to any more people than I do normally.”
— Brian Loux, Lawrence High School junior, Lawrence
