Facebook addiction increases depression severity among already depressed people
A cynical comment about regulation or curtailing this.Everyone agrees smoking causes health problems, is costly and doesn't offer anything. Smoking is regulated (taxes, labels, etc), but cigarettes are readily available everywhere - gas stations, convenience stores, etc. You would imagine that something so universally recognized as detrimental would cease to exist (either outlaws or society would just abandon it completely), but it's more accessible than say clean water, healthy food and such.My point is I don't think we will see this problem going away. As long as there is technology enabling this level of connectedness we will see the side-effect.
