- I don't buy it
- I wouldn't do any of those things if I could stay functional without them. But the benefits of using a credit card outweigh the costs of being another row in a database collecting statistics on my life. And the difference is that I am perfectly happy living in a world sans Facebook.
I have been toying with the idea of dropping Facebook, and ultimately I think I'll keep it. It has its demerits - wasted time and an atmosphere of pantomime - but my peer group uses it heavily for socialisation - and, in very real terms, not being on Facebook means not getting invited to parties.
