He (you) is (are) only 16 so I give him (you) some leeway here but this makes the same mistake a lot of technology pundits do in assuming users will have to adapt to technology rather than technology adapting to users.

The idea that you simply won't be able to maintain multiple social circles in 5 years is patently absurd. Mother's should not have to hear about their son's sex lives and Son's don't want them to. The fact that Facebook currently makes that happen is a flaw in the technology not a flaw in society.
