Is Facebook A Good Or Bad Thing?

More than a dozen years after Facebook officially launched, its growth continues to be staggering. Each day, 300 million photos are uploaded to the platform, and each second, 510,000 comments are posted.

Perhaps with 2 billion users, such statistics are not surprising, but there is one stat that should concern every family: The average person spends 50 minutes each day on one of Facebook’s platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Messenger). That’s 1/16^th of their waking hours — nearly as much time as the average person spends eating and drinking!

For many Americans, Facebook is now an essential part of modern-day life. But what are as a society losing by our addiction to Facebook? As it turns out, a lot.
