Facebook is a part of many people's lives on here, I'm sure. It has some positives, such as being able to connect with people that you wouldn't otherwise talk to on a regular basis. However, it has a few negatives along with it. For one, I think it can cause you to put less effort into maintaining your social circle, since you have the instant gratification of looking up what the person's up to on their profile. There's also some privacy concerns with revealing all of your life's events online. As revealed a couple days ago in the news, Facebook (as well as many other corporations in the US) is being used by the US government as a source of information on foreigners and US citizens alike.
At what point do you figure it's not worth it to keep your Facebook account active? Has anyone been able to get rid of their Facebook account? Or, do you just embrace being hooked on Facebook and think it's a positive force in your life?
