Are we addicted to Facebook, or are we addicted to ourselves?

  In this news article, Judson Brewer, makes a valid point that people may not be addicted as much to Facebook, but rather addicted to themselves. Maybe it is not Facebook in itself that is so popular. Everyone loves to think and talk about him or herself and Facebook is just an easy way to express that. Brewer mentions a study done at Harvard in which people were actually more likely to give up small amounts of their own money to talk about themselves, rather then talk about somebody else.

  This article makes a very valid point. It makes sense that people are not addicted to Facebook, but addicted to themselves. Facebook is just an easy way for someone to express that.
