There are times when I'd agree with you. But I think it's better said that it's simply a tool, and like any tool, it can be used for good or ill. As it's become easier to use and more pervasive, this makes it much easier to take for granted. Now we're getting the wake-up calls, and the slow reduction in Facebook usage is reason for hope.

I'm honestly pretty curious whether the problems it's solved outweigh the problems it's created

It's a fair enough question, but I don't know as it's really answerable.

I could go either way. That was hyperbole earlier. It might be a good discussion question
