Hah! That's rich. Where do you get that from?

So opting out of a fad that may prove detrimental to your career means that you hate yourself?

Wanting to spend time doing "IRL" things and not VainSpacing it up means you're a crankypants?

This pop science totally leaves out privacy concerns and 236 Facebookers is hardly a useful sample composition and size.

I vaguely remember the Internet before the Web and the thing that impressed me the most was anonymity.

Facebook is hardly different from a personnel database that can be searched by FERPA-style directory information.

Interesting perspective. I wonder it what it says about kids in third world countries without computers.
