My family tends to be pretty private and my cousins expressly said &#8211; no thank you &#8230; so &#8230; Maybe it&#8217;s a generational thing and more for &#8220;young&#8221; social people &#8211; but the the average user of FB is apparently in the 40&#8217;s.  Okay, 40&#8217;s is young nowadays&#8230; 20&#8217;s and 30&#8217;s are into Instagram and tweets so there&#8217;s little to write and it&#8217;s all photos to garner attention&#8230; facebook without sentences, basically. Blogging is probably pretty passe now but still enjoy reading some really good ones out there.<\/p>\n<p>While the test subjects were young adults in this research, I tend to believe that for most, use of facebook probably does undermines general happiness level unless used wisely. <a href=\"http:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0069841\"> See this.<\/a>  The time on facebook checking what others are up to and figuring out how to present or express yourself on facebook basically is a waste of time to a degree.  <\/p>\n<p>Using it for publicizing &#8211; marketing\/PR purpose and for gathering information or obtaining updated news is helpful and FB can serve as a valuable resource at times &#8211; I do enjoy the photography skills of some posts &#8211; so well done:) I do love photos and call out of events because &#8230;otherwise, I would have totally missed them. But other than that &#8230; knowing facebook usage is associated with increasing dissatisfaction and unhappiness, I use it sparingly. <\/p>\n<p>By the way, I am happy that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/mark-zuckerberg-and-priscilla-chan-are-starting-a-private-school-in-east-palo-alto-2015-10\">this couple<\/a> is putting their resource, quite a fortune amassed from a company that produces or creates absolutely nothing but had a great impact &#8220;connecting&#8221; the dots (that&#8217;s Steven Jobs) or connecting people &#8211;  to the right place.
