Just put away your phones for one day. One day is all you need. Just imagine all you can do in one day when you don't have your phone, no twitter constantly forcing to you share and compete with your friends for favorites and retweets. Go out and look at the beauty nature has to offer, but through your own eyes rather than through the Instagram filters. One day, we will all go out and make memories, and we won't need Facebook to tell us if we had fun or not.
Where would we be without communication? We wouldn't need mouths except to eat. Things might be mightily confusing, in the work place. And things like phones and social media wouldn't exist. Life would be completely different if it wasn't for discussions. But sometimes in life we need to use the gift of communicate. Human beings need to take a step back and go back to the old ways of life. The days when people used pigeons to send messages. Or when feather quills were still in use. There are certain days when just sending a text message isn't good enough. Sometimes when you make a mistake putting it on social media may not be the best option. It may actually cause a bigger problem. Everyday fights occur on social media, or by face to face contact. But, being able to live life day knowing your choices can affect the rest of your life, does affect the way people act. But remember we don't need Facebook, just another face to talk to.
I know I live far away now; sometimes it feels as if we're separated by time and space and other times as if our hands are pressed against opposite sides of a glass wall, seeing each other but never touching. Please believe me when I say that the distance has only made me love you more. But now, as I write you this letter, I realize that we've never been far away. You Facebook message me every day. Well that's not enough anymore. Enclosed you will find something that might be unexpected, let my words explain. I don't want to write letters to you for the rest of my life. I don't want to text you or message you or try speaking to you over all the static on the phone. I don't want to be connected like this anymore. I am coming home in a few days for good. The doctors say the the wounds to my shoulder will never fully heal; I've been honorably discharged. There is one other that I want, though. I want the honor of calling you my bride. I'm about to close the gap between us; there will be no more wall. When I come home, all that I ask is that you wear what I have enclosed on your fourth finger and say "I do." Would you do that for me? And I promise you that I will never walk away again. I will never have to text you or call you unless I forget what you wanted me to buy from the store. I will wake up beside you every morning and we won't need Facebook anymore.
Elizabeth Summer Andrews, will you be my bride? Yours forever, Charlie
Someday there could be a world with more advanced technology than we could ever imagine, or it will hit a point were time reverses. Family, faith, and love could be viewed as the most important thing, or it could become not needed. The earth may become more plentiful, or it may be covered inch by inch by concrete. There are so many if's, but's, yet's, or or's. However, we will never know the future. We are not prophets. We are only human. We fight, we make mistakes, and we are naive. There are some things we do know for sure. We will be prosperous no matter what we do. We make who are, and we determine the future. One thing is absolutely sure, we won't need Facebook to decide these things, or any other social network. We need each other for success.
From the Point of Robin Williams: (made clean) What is wrong with society these days posting some of he stupidest things to the internet? Facebook is the answer to the world. Kids should get off it, and spend time out doors. I mean seriously you don't have to be on Facebook every minute of every day, get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine, or the outdoors God has made for us. Instead of going online and checking every minute that someone has just posted something new. All Facebook is, is a drama center for teen tragedies, a predator amusement park, and a stupid waste of time. Look back at the older generation the didn't go online they did lines my friends. Not that I'm encouraging drugs, do not think that I'm encouraging it. But what will they do in the case of an apocalypse, get out their phone and check Facebook, while a zombie chews off the persons leg. So in the future all this makes no sense cause Facebook, won't even exist later on. Something else will take it over then that will be a thing of the past. Then we won't need Facebook! Somebody go out and make a new social media site that will conquer Facebook.
*A few strained claps* "Thank you, thank you. You're all very kind." The tall, dark man bowed humbly. "As I'm sure you all know, I am THE Count Olaf. Thank you all for attending this seminar on how to be a villainous count -" "You put us in a sack and dragged us here against our will!" Came a cry from the audience. "SILENCE." Olaf stomped his foot. He chuckled nervously. "Now, as I'm sure you all know, I am supposed to be dead. At least, that is what that horrific book series stated. But here I am, gorgeous ensemble and all, generously spending my precious time informing you pathetic creatures on what it takes to be a successful actor and criminal." He gave another modest smile. "Now, in these modern times, it is becoming exceptionally simple to find out information regarding - oh I don't know - houses most susceptible to arson, orphans most vulnerable to kidnap, and, of course, fortunes grand enough to embezzle." He stated this last bit quite casually, provoking many disturbed looks from the very few people there. "This does not mean, however, that we are going to stand for this new technology taking the place of our evil genius. Oh no, we will not allow these "figures of authority" to underrate our brilliance and discourage our capability to scheme in solitude! We will hunt down every last orphan on this planet! And we won't NEED Facebook!"

This is just precious. Maybe because I love letters so much.
