Facebook: A Social Prosthesis

I see social media (fb) as a tool but mostly it is an artificial connectedness. MONKEY-MIND! This mechanism is substituting for REAL communication which involves risk and vulnerability. It is the robot made frozen pizza to my fresh dough.
and vegetables for making my own pie. I am still trying to wrap my mind around why I find it so distasteful and annoying.
