Facebook addiction: there is moderation

A little over a month ago, Ross Gardiner posted the video shown below, addressing his thoughts on Facebook.

I’m endlessly amused at the black and white approach to anything like this: you’re either a heavy user or you don’t use at all. It’s a shame that approach misses out the huge majority that fall squarely in the middle. Anyway, if you worry about your level of Facebook time, have a watch of this:

    The only ones benefiting from these stupid platforms are Big Brother and the companies marketting departments…
    In a not too far future, privacy will be a luxe only the emotionally self sufficient people will be able to afford…
