    If Facebook disappeared tomorrow
Ah, but that's a different argument - that's about the entire institution disappearing, not just you disappearing from the institution. If Facebook disappeared, we'd organise football via e-mail, maybe, but if you leave Facebook - and no-one else does - then you might get left out.

But yes, Facebook is not necessary to social life in the way implied in the article.
