Putting criticisms of Facebook aside... I suppose many have hyped for new tech - I used to register for random sites just to check out some promised features, as what a curious person would do - not realizing that less is more: do you really need these? I think we need to be less greedy - especially in the digital world - so to be less reliant on tech. After all, tech is to serve us, not to rule us!
