Too much Facebook?

Are we spending too much time on Facebook? Are we letting it take over our lives?

Referring to my previous post on the article of Facebook trying to be a TV channel with new mobile video player, while many users have been praising this innovation is and how convenient it is for them, I would like to raise some light on the negative effects as well.
Kids nowadays as young as 7-8 years old or even younger have a Facebook account. This social networking giant has gotten many people all around the globe whether young or old hooked onto it. Whereby we get the issue : Facebook addiction.
As of today, we already have so many people addicted to Facebook. This new feature of Facebook will only increase the time spent on Facebook. Thus, causing the problem of Facebook addiction to worsen.
Easier videos viewing let Facebook soak up more of users’ time. This attention makes Facebook more powerful by entrenching it in people’s lives, denying competitors the engagement, and generating data on what content and friends people like best.
Would you be more hooked unto Facebook now with this new feature offered? More positive or negative effect? You'd have to weigh them and decide for yourself  ;)
