<p>I read in a 2005 September article online that 85% of college students have facebook.</p>
<p>What about now? 99.9%?</p>
<p>I’m probably that .1% that doesn’t have one.</p>
<p>Over 9000!!!</p>
<p>I’d say maybe 10%? I doubt many students in china, japan, korea, south africa, etc have facebook…</p>
<p>Oh did you mean only in america?</p>
<p>In America, I wouldn’t be surprised if 99.9% of college students use Facebook</p>
<p>yes i meant US students</p>
<p>85%-90% seems about right. Facebook loses its relevancy the older you get in college. People deactivate their accounts for a variety of reasons, myself included.</p>
<p>“People deactivate their accounts for a variety of reasons”
- To include that it’s an even bigger waste of time than College Confidential Cafe, and gosh, that’s saying something. In all seriousness, facebook is - like so many things - alright in small doses.</p>
<p>How many people do you know who use facebook responsibly? I would say around none.nobody x 10^never percent of people use it for anything important.</p>
<p>“Over 9000!!!”
- I seriously just lolled all over the place.</p>
<p>My roommate and I are the only Americans on my floor of 50 people who don’t have facebook. Even our custodian has one. I deactivated mine over the summer. </p>
<p>I guess there is something to those roommate questionnaires.</p>
<p>^Why did you deactivate it?</p>
<p>Gosh I am on the verge of deactivating also. What a waste of time it is. It literally has suck us in the “tech life” and is degrading the value of daily life outdoors, natural life, etc., it is a poisonous plague.</p>
<p>It of course can be great for networking, connecting, what have you, obviously pluses to it, but I think the costs are definitely not unnoticed. It’s super annoying, addicting, and time-consuming; plus, it makes me think unnecessarily over annoying things, and can make me mad at my friends even sometimes.</p>
<p>So annoying.</p>
