ARE YOU PRO OR CON FOR FACEBOOK ?????
Do You have facebook?This question can be easily heard
from nowadays teenagers to adults,especially for those who live in big
cities.When Mark Zuckerberg created facebook in 2004,he had no idea how big it
would actually become,and how big debate the pros and cons of facebook would
spark.It seems that everybody is required to have a facebook account if they
want to exist in a real life.Is that so?
In simple terms,facebook is a social networking website
where each user joins the community and connects with their friends
virtually.Connected members can share information,pictures,video and also use
the facebook instant messenger facility.A member creates a profile and uploads
anything he/she wants,and all his/her connected friends can view this data at
any time.As a consequence,people’s profiles.
To balance out the advantages,there are bound to be some
cons of facebook as well.Facebook users will get bombarded with unwanted friend
requests from many unknow people.Your friends and family members will be able
to snoop around and know what is happening in your life at all times.While
facebook appears entertaining and fun,there is a lot of danger in regards to
personal data being retrieved, compromised,and exploited.Not to mention that
you will witness unnecessary dramatization of unimportant occurrences in your
friend’s lives.Moreover,you will waste many hours because facebook is addictive
for most people.
However,you also can use facebook for business purposes
as many people like to advertise their work on this medium in the hope that a
potential client or employer may see it.Many advertisers and companies also use
facebook as an advertising medium since there is a large base of people to
target here.
These pros and cons of facebook for kids and adults mean
that facebook is “DOUBLE EDGE SWORD”,and you have to make a decision about
joining facebook.Even if you are a member,there is no compulsion to share
information every single day,and you can also choose to share only selected
information.All this means that facebook is synonymous with the internet in the
sense that it can be useful ar distruptive,only if you allow it to be.
ETIQUETTE
RULES ON FACEBOOK:
While users can ask just about anyone to be their fiend
on facebook (unless their settings make them completely private),whether or not
they will be accepted is another question.People have many reasons for
accepting and ignoring friendship requests;those who are ignored should not over
think it and simply move on.
Don’t be
offended if someone does not reply to a “friend” request.They may prefer to
keep their group of friends to a very limited few or they may want to keep work
and social lives separate, among other reasons. Don’t ask someone
to be your “friend” more than once. Don’t “friend”
someone with whom you are not comfortable about seeing your photos or hearing
about your daily life. Dont “friend”
someone,especially younger facebook users,if your content would be
inappropriate for their age group. Dont make
friend request of your friend’s friends if you don’t know them.Some facebook
users believe having a lot of friends is a kind of competition. Reserve
“Friending” for people you truly care about and are interested in,not as a way
of keeping score your popularity. Never ever post
pornographic photos on the internet.
