<p>This is very interesting. I dont use FB, but my wife does. On occasion I
peek at her account and I’m always struck by the inanity and banality of
content, or the pressure to ‘like’ something of dubious merit just
because somebody you know considers it worthy or because everybody else
does - the madness of crowds.</p>
<p> We also talked about this on holiday a couple of weeks ago. I remarked
that on holiday thirty years ago the only contact was by letter, but
these days kids are texting, calling and facebooking every day… And
the content you can bet is diluted quality. A bit like digital cameras-
hundreds of photos but how many worth keeping?</p>
