Facebook

Obviously a good portion of people have face book or some type of social networking group they belong too.  Social networking has been around for a long time. I remember when I was younger how I would msn messenger with my friends, put up my display pictures and talk to all my friends. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. As I grew older I joined other social networking site. One being MySpace, and then eventually joining face book. I wonder how much face book impacts people’s lives.

Face book has a lot of positive aspects to it. It allows you to find old friends, keep in touch with family, and share your life with people you know. It allows you to put your feelings and thoughts out there for someone else to see. I know some people say, it makes them feel better and that people care about them. I really enjoy looking at pictures of my family and friends and I’m sure many other people do as well.

Each time I go on face book, I find myself to be annoyed and seeing the negativity in it. I see girls and guys who are constantly updating their status, where they are, and who they are with.  I just think, like do these people have nothing better to do, or are they addicted to the feeling of knowing that someone could potentially like their status or comment on their pictures. These people are so involved in the social networking it scares me. It’s like some people put so much out there, that someone could easily come find them and kidnap them or kill them.  Not only bad things like that, but I see the bullying on face book, and how hurtful kids can be to each other. I’ve read the stories about teenagers killing themselves over face book problems.

I guess I’m wondering why do people get so involved in face book and the cyber world.  Will there ever be a limited to how much information you should be allowed to have out there and what you are able to say on there.  When will there be a cut off, or will the problems get worse? If you had to pick do you think face book is positive or a negative??
