I've always defended Facebook and found it really useful. However recently I've noticed how little I use it and that I could (and would like to) delete my account.

There is one thing holding me back though. Photos. When I'm out with friends etc. I don't take photos. There are usually one or two people who do and I can rely on those photos being made available to me through Facebook/tagging. If I delete my Facebook account I lose the opportunity to view/save those photos.



I deactivated my Facebook profile for several months. Didn't miss the photos. Came back. Photos start to look silly, pointless, trivial. If I really, really want to see something, I'll ask a friend to show it to me over his/her phone.


I personally enjoy looking back on old photos every now and then. It's not really so I can look at them the next day. I know for sure I would miss that every now and then.I guess the solution is just for me to take more pictures instead of relying on other people.
