for a hermit, this is a great idea. for those of us who actually have social lives and do leave our houses and want jobs this is the worst idea imaginable.

making a phone call is quicker than facebook. lets face it. if you cant afford to make a quick phone call maybe you should be spending less time on facebook anyway.

More people contact eachother via Facebook at home, at work, on the go, even in live concerts. doesn't have to always be at home.. via cellphones.

So you're saying Facebook should replace phones because we use phones to access Facebook? Title of Thread -"Why do we still need cellphones when we have Facebook?" :? *Brain Explodes*

How do you propose we access Facebook on to go? I don't sit in my house all day, and I am sure as hell not carrying an expensive laptop to a bar.

If only we had some kind of technology that we can carry around in our pockets that lets us access Facebook...

My bad.. but the bottom line. no need phone numbers anymore. I could call you by your real name, and it rings too.. my cellphone number of contact list has people names typed in, but when I deal it rang to numbers. see?

No no no, that's not what I meant..an order to save the money wasting on the cellphone just to call people. a better way is use Facebook,. therefore, Facebook is my way to contact people from now on. which I do daily anymore. ..my cellphone is just sitting on the floor or in my pocket hardly get used. $65 a month fee for nothing almost.

How am I supposed to contact some one via facebook when I'm out of the house? I'm not carrying a laptop around with me everywhere I go. And even if I did, I wouldn't have an internet connection when I'm sitting on a bus.

And you can't call people on facebook, which is the first way I every try to get in touch with some one.

BuryMe
In my country we have free wireless internet on the bus. Its a good way to get more people to use them instead of private cars. But its impossible to use it during rush hour and the bus is full. Anyway this topic is a joke.

Everybody should sign up for Facebook.. that will put an end on calling eachother on the phone by numbers.. I think, I would rather call you by name. not numbers.

I'm sorry but I trust Mark Zuckerberg and facebook about as much as I trust that man in the clown suit outside my house with the words "FREE CANDY!" written on his van.

And the less people who have my name, address, phonenumber, SSN, CCN, etc the better.

People working for facebook don't need to be on your friends list to see your facebook.

When we have Facebook. youknow, you can text messaging to friends and families on laptop/PC if they're on your Facebook friendslist. just like we could texting on cellphones... only Facebook is free(internet fees). Cellphones are not cheap.

What Im trying to say is: to save some money spending on your cellphones. use your laptop instead. ..throw your cellphones away... Good idea?..Yes or No?

Dogswithguns

I don't have a laptop, nor do I want one. I think a smartphone is way better than a laptop. And cheaper.

Reading the TC's replies, I'm going to safely assume he's just trolling right now. I mean, come on, who with common sense would expect you to contact the police, the fire department, or paramedics via Facebook?

I don't use Facebook anyway and I'm not planning to open an account anytime soon. Good luck talking to me.

What if you're in a car crash and need to call for help? Are we supposed to just log into Facebook and update our status to "in car crash, send help"?

I don't think it's a good alternative.

Mobile phones are just that, mobile. It's a whole lot easier to send a text message to someone, or even send them a message over facebook, through your mobile than lugging a laptop around.
