I don't really know. I never use them because, in my opinion, they're stupid. They were meant for long-distance families but ended up being for trolls and fangirls.

Before anyone thinks about bashing social media, think about the use of profiles here on AG.
Not much I think I can add to this; Nicho nailed it IMO.
I'm able to communicate with distant relatives and old friends.
That's about it, I don't use it for news related things. I prefer other, more reliable sites for that. As for strangers/people I've met on the internet, don't think I'd ever add them to a social network. Two different parts of my life, I don't want an internet friend being able to see a lot of stuff that goes on in my personal life, I don't *really* know them after all.
Besides, I'm fine with other ways of communicating with them. Such as email or private messaging on another site.

I don't have a Facebook account (I do, but I don't use it.)
Most people I know I see in person everyday-every other day, I also have their phone numbers in the event I really need to talk to them.
Social networking is really just for sitting around saying nothing. I doubt if Facebook will be looked back upon in 1000 years as something that contributed anything positive to society.
Facebook was, originally.

It could since so many people use it, but I'm sure it'll eventually fall and another social networking site will sprout.
Yes it will. It doesn't just connect you even more to people you know, but to people you would almost never have known
What exactly are you trying to say? Are you trying to deny the impact that Facebook has had upon this world because you think it's a cesspool for useless blather? You may not find it particularly useful, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that it has been an innovation that has changed the world.
What difference does it make if I meet this guy in Timbuktu on Facebook? I highly doubt if that will change the world, much less have an effect on society.
(Oh boy... Looks like I struck a nerve with a few people. -_-)

Greater connectivity, bringing people together, kicking off new initiatives from these new linkages. Facebook was used extensively during Arab Spring to organize people just to name one major usage.
The internet in its entirety was used to organize the Arab Spring, don't give Facebook all the credit. Don't get me wrong, Facebook does generate positive constructive results, but the "blather" and sheer pointlessness it also generates far outweigh the positive side of it.
