Comment on Facebook is the 21st century tech equivalent of cigarettes

Comments

This is consistent with my anecdotal experience. People talk about Facebook as something that gives no satisfaction, but they do anyway.

Facebook also has some extraordinary benefits, so it's hard to quit. I meet more people when I travel, I've made new friends in town, and I met my favourite author as a result of his Facebook presence.

But that's 1% of my time on Facebook. The other 99% is pure waste. But something about it makes it very hard to go in, take care of what I intend to, and leave. I don't have the same trouble with most sites.
