Facebook achieves nothing.

Unlike other activities used for procrastination (haven’t we all compulsively checked the BBC news?) there is no benefit to our hours spent online. We haven’t learnt anything about the world around us from scanning through an old acquaintances groups or reading their wall apart from realising that they can’t spell ‘definitely’. Facebook is the ultimate brain rot.  
rot.  
 

Facebook can be whatever you want it to be. If you want to relax, you can simply look through friends profiles. However, if you want to spend your time doing something more productive and high minded you can! Often detective work can be completed on facebook, piecing together bits of conversations on walls, looking through photos to try and catch someone out. Applications can also be added which stimulate more mental activity. Word games are the most obvious example. So whilst some may use Facebook as "brain rot", not everyone should be tarred with the same brush.
