40% of the world's population is now on Facebook

That equal roughly to 3 billion people who are active on Facebook every month. Luckily I'm still part of 60% who are not on the Facebook since my phone is a Flip Phone

I have a flip phone as well. But that hasn't stopped me from being a Facebook member via computer for 14 years in a few weeks.

Of all the social media Apps, the only one I use is Whatsapp since I have some overseas relative that I have contact with. Its a God send since don't have to pay expensive oversea calls

No flip phone, mine is a portable system, one phone on desk, one in bedroom, never had the faintest desire to join FB. Hearing from others about it, I would have quit it a long time ago.

Don't worry, you're no missing much by not joining FB. Like everybody else I love the new technology and I use it myself. It is when the technology get intrusive that make me wary. For example, when FB ask for real name when joining, I am out

Did they really ask you for your real name? I've never been asked that. How do they know the name you give isn't real? Real by whose authority? Theirs? If you use the name, it's your real name. I guess if you try to use something like Tough Guy 158 it could be an issue. But a fake name, I don't see how they would know for sure. Don't give it to them no matter what.
