Facebook Changes

I have heard much noise about how the changes on facebook are hated.  Honestly, I did not even notice.  Do you know the reason?  It is because I rarely am on facebook for any real length of time.  I think the people who are most up-in-arms about it are the ones that are addicted to it.   You may say that you cannot be addicted to facebook, but I disagree.  I think the definition of addiction is spending more valuable resources(e.g. time or money) on an activity or pursuit that is useless or debilitating than on useful activities.  Well you say, I only spend 60% of my free time and my free time is only 8% of my day, so I am only spending ~6% of my time.  I would argue that, the non-free time is already spoken for and therefore is out from under your control.  That makes 60% of your free time, 60% of the time you control.  Not that facebook is entirely useless, I use it to keep track of family, friends and acquaintances too, but I do not spend the majority of my free time in it.
