> The need to communicate with the people you love is not "manufactured"...

Again, the need is not manufactured. But the need for constantly in touch, is manufactured. No one before social network wanted that. There was normal mails, then we had telephones, emails etc etc..all of which have solved this pretty well, even across the globe.

But none of these are 24x7.

The need for 24x7 "networking" is manufactured.
