Honestly Paul, I wouldn't worry about how others spend their time too much. It's true that social media encourages "consumption" instead of "production" but people learn to moderate themselves over time. Or they get fired, go into poverty and can't afford an internet connection anymore - one or the other. However, if it's a fun problem to solve, then by all means try to. What would work for me is seeing how much time I spend on HN. Having the hours stare me in the face would have the same effect as having the calories I consume stare me in the face (while I'm standing in line to get a buttery, ginger scone for mid-morning snack).
