I met my wife on Match.com. Best thing ever. I read just as many books as I did before Facebook. My wife reads at least a book a week. We have half our storage in the garage full of books. I am very thank for Amazon Readers so we don’t have physical storage. What we do less of is watch TV and movies. I think social media has replaced the mindless part of leisure but not the intellectual part for us. For us social media sparks conversation as much as TV did. Certainly social media has not replaced intellectual pursuits like reading books.
