>I quit social media for a long time too. And then I noticed how disconnected I was from all my old school friends and contacts.

As opposed to faux-connected through FB though?

You're not wrong.

I guess it depends on where you are in life on how much it matters to you. Personally, I'm single and live alone, so it's nice to keep a superficial awareness of people I met in school not that many years ago. If I were married and having my own kids, I'd probably have enough social contact at home and through my wife and kids that I don't really care about observing others' lives from 1000 feet away.
