It's not Facebook's irresponsible sharing of user data that bothers me as much as how it has become a place for people to brag about their exotic vacations and their kids' academic and athletic achievements. Studies show that Facebook is a big cause of depression, because people see how wonderful other people's lives seem compared to their own, and they are envious.

"Seem" is the key word here because in reality, no one's life is as wonderful as they portray it to be on Facebook. When was the last time you saw someone post, "Ugggh, my daughter got knocked up again but the loser boyfriend?"

Facebook should be called "Fakebook", because that's what it is. It has no bearing on what life is really like for individuals or companies that post there.
