Facebook in the real world – amazing case study

This is a really interesting article, but I do not agree with the ways Facebook is integrating itself into society. Eventually everyone is just going to be so depended on text and online activities, no one is going to know how to communicate in person anymore. There is no need to constantly update where the user has been and what they "like". If someone wants to know they can just do the "old fashion way" of just asking them. If Facebook creates this new bracelet thing, people are going to be even more attached (literally) to Facebook than ever. 
Facebook is a way to keep in contact with friends that live far away, or back at home when you are away at college. It does not need to be a map of the persons everyday life.
