Facebook,huh?

Facebook. I'll bet that nearly half(or more) of the world's continually exploding population would've heard or spoken the F-word a million times already.
Facebook is an irony. It was created by this guy and his friends from Harvard. In less than a span of four years sice its creation, it has become this humongous organism without which most of us would label our existence futile.
People get addicted to this thing. All I see around me,viz,on my wall(that is what life revolves around for most of us- the WALL) is how people are growing wheat and rice on their fake farms, taking on each others' fake mafia and even tending to fake fish! heightening the word jobless to a whole new level!
Now back to the irony. Facebook is an irony because it was created by these guys who are obviously very intelligent, who, even when they are most utterly bored and have absolutely nothing to do, would not while away their time in front of something like FB.
So obviously, one day, when they are that bored, they sit and come up with some really neat coding and voila! Its Facebook! :D (obviously it would not have been that easy, but hey!)
So my point after all this rambling, is to ask whether wasting our precious little time on something like FB is worth it.


PS: You can post your comments (if any) on my FB wall!! :P (or here)
And if anyone cares to know how FB came up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook
