You ask some good questions. I wonder sometimes; if Facebook disappeared tomorrow, how badly would my life be affected? And it's strange to me that the disappearance of a platform which seems to pervade my daily life would only cause minor inconvenience. I'll admit that Messenger has greater sway over my daily life, but I could probably switch over to an alternate messaging platform with minimal pain. > Maybe the answer is that I should delete facebook and go back to beforetimes when the world was smaller It's absurd how highly we've come to value a platform that brings only an incremental amount of joy to our lives (and who knows how much grief). I would be lying if I said I don't enjoy seeing what my old friends are up to, or knowing who's had kids, etc. But well, maybe I'll have to call them up for coffee and a chat instead.
