Facebook? It is the biggest social networking service that has been operating for 8 years starting from 2004 until now. The founder was Mark Zuckerberg and his college roommates and fellow students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes. What is so great about this social networking that almost all people around the world are so into it? It can be good things for those who use it in a proper way and good purposes, but for those who use it for bad intention, it can give them bad benefits. It stated in the New York Times that Facebook was growing so fast U.S. However, the number of Facebook’s user only increase for 10% starting from October 2009 until October 2010. Is it because of the article that was written by Jenna Wortham that makes people changed their minds about this social networking?
What actually do we see in Facebook? Is it really about connecting people and helps us to find our lost contact friends? Instead of helping people all around the world to connect to each other, at the same time it also helps to distant the relationships between people or our close friends? Let see the example. The purpose of Facebook is to keep people contact to each other. Yes, exactly. But have you ever thought that it could distant your relationships with everyone that you know inside the Facebook. Why I’m saying this thing. It is because you are only connecting to each other but you will never see them or having a meeting outside the Facebook since you already know that Facebook helps you to always keep updating about your friend’s life and more. By having this sort of thinking, you probably would not see your friends anymore as you will sit in front of the computer and just log in, you already connect with them. Thus, at the end, you might end your friendships just like that.

Beside distant your life with the one that you loved, people also will become addicted with it. In what way it can be addicted? Facebook’s hardcore user will spend their time online for more than 6 hour a day. At this point, we can see that people easily wasting their time doing something that is not beneficial for them. The time that was spent can be used to do something more valuable like reading books or doing other useful things. Rather than letting the time passed without you doing anything and realizes it, it’s better to quit your Facebook and starts to make changes in your life by doing more useful things. This also happened to students and worker. Facebook is a bad thing for students. They will spend more times compared to study and make revision. Thus, in the end they can’t score in the exam, and making their parents more disappoint. Workers also at the same time facing the same problem where at the office, for sure they will browse Facebook and let their valuable time passed just like that. That is why many offices decided to block Facebook completely since distract their worker to work.
Furthermore, Facebook could be one of the reasons for people especially married couple and other users to get into fight and lead to misunderstanding. Facebook is a worldwide website. People can surf at any time they want. When you keep updating about your life, your marriage problems, and other stuffs, your friends will have bad perceptions on you. They also might ask you tons of questions about your marriage that you should never tell those things to others. And at the end, you will get into fight with your husband because of what you put on Facebook and worst scenario might happened when you are getting divorce just because of Facebook.
So, now that you know that Facebook gives more bad effects to you. Cool enough? Quit now before its too late. I’m done. How about you?
