I think of Facebook as being like 1950s TV. Peoples' pictures show the atypical moments of their lives that they wish were typical: vacations, parties and weddings. No one posts pictures of their damn cubicles or dirty laundry.

A typical person who mistook those photos to reflect how peoples' lives actually are, and not rare moments out of years, would become envious and miserable.

As with the 1950s, which were nothing like what TV portrays the era as being, I worry that future generations will see these 2012-era photos and ask if our lives really were this glamorous, with average people constantly taking vacations. Well, no. That was not reality.
