Facebook is the greatest, most powerful weapon ever created. If there was a god of attention, it's name would be Facebook.
Twitter, Google+, WoW, TV, radio, magazines, whatever. They all pale in comparison to the amount of time and effort =wasted= on Facebook. Discussing meaningless things, liking meaningless posts or comments, or pages about meaningless things, photos of meaningless things.
It doesn't matter how many people or pages you subscribe, like or friend who _might_ talk or be about something important in the world, your "feed" will be chock full of rubbish by the thousands of other posts about NOTHING.
Forgive the brutality here, but why do you need to read on Facebook how someone is feeling? If they're important enough to you to care how they feel, shouldn't they be around you? Within arms reach? Why do you need to see what someone had for lunch? Why do you need to share pictures of you and your friends drunk? Why do you need to see scenic photos of places your friends or family have been? Why do you need to know about everyone's birthday?
Why do you care? Really?
For all the time you spend absorbing this information, what good does it do you or anyone else? Is it creating homes or jobs for those with nothing? Is it curing cancer? Is it feeding starving children? Is it teaching anyone anything useful that could improve their life? How about the planet? Is it fixing the ozone? Is it cleaning the air we breathe? Or even you, specifically? Is it putting food on your table? Is it putting clothes on your back? Is it paying your bills? Is it quenching your thirst? Is it?
No.
It's flooded with useless information that everyone wastes copious quantities of time and energy consuming that could be spent on any number of better activities.
You know what I'm talking about.
