Facebook is one of the most popular networking sites that allow
people to socialise all around the world. It is also used to communicate with
friends or family and meet new peoples. Facebook is popular with teenagers and
college students but nowadays everyone from the age 8-50 years old has a Facebook account. There are pros and cons using Facebook.
One of the advantages of using Facebook that it is one of the
best ways to communicate. We could meet new peoples or keep in touch, reunite
and finding our old, long-lost friends or family member. What springs to mind when I
heard Facebook is network site. I still remember when I first heard the word
Facebook in middle school when I was 10.
I would leave all my homework or do it quickly just to log in to Facebook to play Farmville or Pet Society and chat with my friends.
I don’t really like the Facebook logo because it kind of
plain and boring. It is also used for other common networking site such as
twitter and tumblr. I would change the logo to purple because it is my
favourite colour but it would not be called Facebook anymore. I think Facebook
will still running a decade from now but it will be dead or few people going to
use it like MySpace and Friendster. I would prefer Twitter than Facebook
because it is simple. You can just tweet whatever and whenever you like.
One of the cons of Facebook is you or your friends can
accidentally post something that you will regret in the future that will also
be a disaster to your career. I still remember when my best friend uploaded an
embarrassing picture of me, and of course it has been deleted. Facebook could also
be a waste of worthy time and it is also an easy way to replace the outside
world with spending all day surfing other peoples profiles also known as
stalking.
Everyone have they own opinion. Some said that it is
dangerous to put your personal information on your Facebook profile because it
may cause bad things. But some think opposite. It is not dangerous to put your
information out there because there are always choices to delete or remove it. However,
there are also disadvantages of putting too much information about your life.
For the past 4 years, there are cases about teenagers or even adults committing
suicide after being cyber bullied on Facebook.
The best thing about Facebook is of course, knowing people
from the other side of the world. I make a lot of friends through Facebook
pages with people who interested in the same thing as I did. For the past 2
years, I rarely log in or didn’t even log in at all and decided to just
deactivate my account from all the notifications. That explain why I would
never pay to use Facebook.
