> Yes. Over 75% of the writing on Wattpad happens on a mobile device. I know. I find it crazy too.

Ok let's be clear, I don't know what wattpad is -- but how many books worth a damn are written on smartphones, I wager << 1%.

> How is divorce a terrible example? What is more impactful to someone's life than ending their closest lifelong relationship?

Because facebook has nothing to do with that based on the information you've cited. Yes people get divorced, there are usually deep-seated reasons for that,if the cat, the dog, the kids, their friends, their letters, or their facebook are mentioned amongst thousands of words of the filings does not in anyway say something about the particular significance of those factors. I think you'd be completely stupid to insist facebook is a cause rather than a medium amongst these.
