The Problem With Social Media

I've been thinking about social media a lot lately. I'm old enough to remember the days before internet was commonplace in every household.
And I remember when Facebook was new. I was working as a holiday rep and up until Facebook came along, I'd used email or MSN messenger to stay in touch with friends, would buy phonecards to call my family every few weeks, and I had used Bebo to share updates when I was travelling around Australia - I guess that was my first blog.
