Posted: January 6th, 2012, 2:52pm CET by Digg
There’s a fine line between technology that enables a better world and technology that makes us head in the wrong direction.

I went out on a first date with a girl who is also a recently added Facebook friend. During dinner she kept bringing up things I had already read about on FB, but I lied and pretended like I didn't know because that's creepy, right? At what point am I allowed to admit I FB stalk her?
