Most adults realize that, say, Facebook is engineered to increase the value of our "social graphs" to its customers, the corporations and research firms that buy this data. I disagree with this. It's sad but I don't think most adults realize that they are the product.

I am in agreement with you. Most of my less technical friends do not know this and think of themselves as the "customer."
