Is Facebook really necessary?

[mrisha]

In the past I thought that facebook would be useful in getting my home business seen-nothing profitable happen.  I access the site for about 10 minutes now. I find it boring now.

It isn't necessary for all the garbage they put on it. Business wise I can see through it. Friends and family yes. Other than that give someone a call already. Remember most of the friends are not your friends anyway, lol.

I understand that Facebook can bring people together, lost friends, close relatives but some people use it to bully and harass. Spread vicious rumors and just Troll. Facebook has ruined marriages big time. It's a good thing that if you choose to, you can hide your friend list from others. When Facebook came about, it was supposed to be for college students but somehow it turned into a worldwide epidemic. Do you think you HAVE to have a facebook account? What do people think of people that don't have an Facebook account?

Frankly, Facebook is not the problem.  It is people who don't use it rationally.  It is simply another tool that people have managed to distort and abuse.  Some people simply don't have common sense, or in some cases, are really mean- spirited.  Is there much that has been created that man has not managed to subvert?  I don't think so!
