LOL!

I think the people reporting these studies fail to convey the importance of what they really mean. It's not that people with 942 facebook friends are going to live longer than the happily married couple living in a remote ranch in a tiny town in the wilds of Montana. It's that humans are social creatures and we need social validation/support to live emotionally healthy lives. And emotional health is critical to longevity. WHERE we get it this support/interaction varies from individual to individual. As far as I'm concerned, that's how it should be. If we all needed to be the center of attention at a party, it would be one lousy party, you know?
