I realize that this is a bootstrap paradox as mentioned by RobWatts in the comment to the OP; there are probably different ways to resolve it. | |

You can observe someone using facebook on a smartphone and will - depending on how proficiently the person you are observing uses it - be able to learn everything there is about how to use it. | |
