Agree totally - though I do very much enjoy the occasional long wikipedia tour. For millions, Facebook is the internet, there is nothing beyond. Sad.
She recently told me she wouldn't get a flu shot this year, and I know where she got that idea. I got mad, and gave her a lecture about the insane anti-vax people, and the many ways in which their beliefs are complete bullshit.
But my anger wasn't at her, but rather frustration that Facebook might indirectly cost her her life.
Some days I feel like null routing Facebook on her router. I won't do that of course, because it's not my job to interfere with her choices. But I'm becoming increasingly concerned.
