I don't have a Myspace/Facebook page, I've never tweeted, never sent a txt msg and I don't have a cell phone. Beat that. (I do use Skype and email to communicate with friends/family, but very rarely.)
I'm pretty reclusive. Which is unfortunate, because it's only cool to be reclusive if you're a genius. But if you're in your mid-20's, you've never had a job and you're not homeless, you may well be a genius.
Work does indeed suck. My colleagues in the PhD program at UIUC are here because they want to become college professors. I'm here because I don't want to get a job.
Haha, great post! I can proudly say I was the last of the Nokians.
I definitely relate to your last sentence. That's why I went to college in the first place (and why it took me so long to finish it
).

Like everybody I know checks those sites daily... it caused mass hysteria in Romania, damn.
Man, you don't have a clue about the number of half naked Romanian chicks who offer to be my hi5 friends!! I now have this mental image of your country where all women in Romania are skunky hoes. Hope I'm right, man, hope I'm right...
-----------------------------------
I have all that junk but am not that phased by them. Obviously was sort of forced into it by a good number of friends. (I figured that by joining hi5 and facebook the spam would end...)
It's a tad sad to see all those teens posting semi-naked pics on their hi5s, in hopes of attracting anyone decent... I'm so glad to be a child of the late 70s...
Btw, I've dated 2 chicks whom I met through hi5, and both were borderline psycopaths. Both of them contacted me (I should have known better). Was just a creepy experience overall...
I'll give hi5 & facebook this, though: it's a nice tool to keep track of past acquaitances, especially if you've worked in so many different places as I have.
As for mobile phone, text messaging, etc., only use it when I actually have to say something important to someone, which is not that often.
