This piece was spot on, except for one thing-- the suggestion that "quitting facebook" is unrealistic. Why? Maybe the author was trying to avoid being labeled "too extreme". And granted, there are probably a few people out there who are dependent on it for their livelihood somehow. For everyone else, "quitting facebook" is a very realistic alternative. I've done it, so have many of my friends, and life goes on, with improved well being. Once you realize you're being used and abused, it's time to move on.
