Facebook defines itself as ‘a social utility that connects you with the people around you’. This could not be further from the truth. Far from serving as an umbilical cord of friendship for the socially deprived, Facebook actively damages interpersonal relationships, harms job prospects, wastes time, and ultimately turns die-hard users totally reclusive.
It may or may not be now, but it will probably end up that way for most people. What was once open and inviting, offering new possibility, becomes overcrowded and difficult to manage. The openness that was attractive becomes oppressive.
