First off, I didn't read the entirety of the article, but just skimmed it, and I thought i'd throw in my two cents on the question.
I'm currently 1/2 way around the world as a deployed Marine, and the only easy way to keep up with friends is through social networking websites.
Facebook and Skype allow me to actually communication with people who are 8 time zones away like they're right next to me (more or less). If it weren't for those two things, well, life would be a lot harder.
