It's just so everyone can boast they were there. I got rid of all of my social media (bar this forum if it counts) a year ago. At first it was tough. I felt like I was trying to give up smoking. Then, after a month or two I loved it. Whenever I go out with my mates now I think, was I this lame? Was sat in the reggae bamboo bar in San an last summer watching sunset with a beer with the missis and two of our friend's. As I looked up and stared at them all just sat on there phones only pausing to take the occasional picture. I promised myself I'd never go back into the world of Facebook.
