You asked if I thought “people didn’t screw around on the web to the detriment of real life needs before facebook.”
I didn’t answer that question because I saw no reason to. The answer is obvious to even the poorest student of human history and human behavior. The answer is of course some people have always frittered away time to their own detriment and that of society in general. In the the past, the present and no doubt in the future as well.
It hardly needed to be said, but having said it, I hope it’s been helpful.
And thus shows that your link of 5 reason to quit FB is silly and pointless. Since the list consists of nothing but behavior that, as you say, even the poorest student of human history and behavior knows people have always done. Which was exactly my point when I said “none of it’s facebook”. So now that we both see that your reply should have been agreement, since you clearly agree, the conversation is done. See ya.
