Technology is as good as it is useful. If it isn't useful, it's not good.
I use Facebook, but not to the extent that many do - I don't play the games and I don't post pictures. It's a semi-convenient method of getting hold of people; it lends itself to the sort of short commentary that I am occasionally inclined to make; and it's a way of at least keeping an eye on a loop, even if I'm not in it. I would never share anything truly personal about myself and I will never put a picture of myself on that site. I don't friend people unless I know who they are (speaking of which - you never did explain that suggestion that I friend 'Georgina Sutcliffe', Sable . . . )
Same goes for most technology. I can and will use it, with care, if it is useful to me. If it's not, no dice. And that person's analogy to Kathy Bates makes no sense - unless you are one of those people that get addicted to technologies and can't walk away. Then they are a hobble; otherwise, just a tool.
