I agree. I ask myself this question; &quot;If &lt;x&gt; was to disappear tomorrow, what would happen?&quot;<p>The answer for Facebook and me, is nothing. If Google disappeared tomorrow, I would be hurting for many services I probably take for granted. I suspect if Facebook disappeared tomorrow, most people&#x27;s lives would not <i>materially</i> change for the worse. Perhaps they would even change for the better.
