I don't think we should have a bunch guilt for destroying old technology, it's a major benefit of tech to not need as many physical objects, as much manual labor, or as much time fussing with DIP switches.

Facebook is different because it doesn't destroy anything, it purely adds to life and consumes time, with fairly minimal happiness involved. It acts more like an an obligation than a leisure activity even though it's purely voluntary.

The things that wind up getting displaced aren't technologies or jobs, which can often be replaced with a good riddance, they're things like "Having a conversation" or "learning a language" or "taking a walk" or anything else one might do in their spare time.
