currently, I have a "tracfone" a pay as you go cell phone.
Texting is half the price of phone calls, important in the obummer economy.
I hardly use email anymore, its so old fashioned-I use it to communicate with the last of my Luddite friends who are frightened of the 21st Century

Really, I'm not to worried that my vanilla real name facebook is going to hurt me job wise, my "real" last name is soo dang common anyway, & my nickname is the only name most folks know me by.
My sister and my mom are really into photo's - they used to send me tons of pictures in the mail, now thanks to face book I don't have to feel guilty about not looking or caring about photo's -they "tag" me I say oooooh nice and thats that , no more looking for places to keep stuff I never look at or care about.
I can simply check up on my younger relatives without having to make a phone call ( which means a 50/60 mile round trip for me ) & I don't really like talking on the phone much.
The local town is 30 miles away, I can drive and look at the post office bulletin board or stay right here & look at the facebook page - I can drive for miles to see if some one is home or click, no phones out here - very very rural.
