Facebook has released changes to its software, and it turns out people are enraged by these changes, even though there is a link to the help section describing what to do.
It made me wonder...Why do we feel so wronged when something provided for free, suddenly changes, and we do not like it anymore? It is not like we ever paid for it, and most of the time we just click on the Like button because we have nothing to say. I will admit, for those doing social marketing, these changes are a pain, but still...these folks are paid to use social tools. I also wonder...Has there ever been a time in history where a service was offered for free on such a global scale? But still...it is free.
I am the grandson of a Great Depression-era Irish family, and also a former actor. I was taught that if something was offered for free, you take it, make the best of it, or turn it down if you do not want it.
While many focus on Facebook's backlash...I wonder about the backlash on a society with so many free options available that fashionably complains about services offered for free.
Well...that is just me...and not one to break up party...I thought about this speech!
