To Facebook or Not to Facebook?

As a young lad of the internet generation i was introduced to the magic, or WiFi rather operated computing machines of the future (present technically...) before i can even remember, receiving my own computer back when i was 10. Facebook exploded soon after and i like everyone else embraced the social media experiment fore-fathered by sites like MySpace, ready for a new age of online interactions. The benefits of course was a revolution in communications, i able to converse with friends and family anywhere anytime around the globe. Risks?....Well i have always been cautious in terms of my privacy but i wasn't aware of how in-depth services like Facebook could cull data, i mean even while inactive your telling me over 57 signals are being recorded elsewhere, even my posture as i recline with Cheeto caked hands at the keyboard?! (kidding.... they are goldfish). I can only follow the video's advice and be ever vigilant, ever on guard with private information protecting software (Ad-blocker plus, AVG, etc.) be a little wiser in how i use the internet. It is a land of digitized wonder yet underneath the brightly colored graphics, lulling presentations the internet can indeed possess a seedy, information hoarding cyber-world, one i wish to never take place.
