...I commonly invite a couple of hundred people at
once to events. I
cannot do that by phoning them all; even emailing them all is a major
pain. This is the sort of thing social networks excel at.
You don't have to use them; feel free not to. But
my friend who refuse to
are, by and large, friends who I do not invite to things.

Considering how little you obviously value those "friendships", they
probably don't mind at all...
And I suppose even semi-professional writers ignoring rules of grammar is
just another one of those modern "efficiencies"...
Signs of the times...

There are a couple of people - just a handful - who are close enough,
or that I have known for long enough, that I will go out of my way to
ask them. The rest, the other few dozen, who I'd be happy to go for a
drink with but who want me to use 19th century communications to ask
them as we head into the middle of the 2nd decade of the 21st, because
they can't be bothered to learn - nah, sod 'em. Adapt and survive;
fail to adapt, die.

And those of us who aren't Facebook addicts are clearly on the edge of
death! ;)
