Facebook

Social networking on Facebook has become the new fad of the last century. Everyone either has their own account or has talked about it. I will admit I have a Facebook account, and it can become very addicting. It is a very useful way to stay in contact with your past friends from high school or family members. I talk to my mom almost daily via Facebook since I cannot see her everyday anymore. Well people are abusing the use of this site. They are using it to get black mail on people or to start drama. Facebook needs to set limits on some of the stuff that goes on.
Facebook drama was a very big issue in my high school. A group of teenage girls would single out other girls on things that they did wrong or that they didn't approve of. It eventually reached to the point of involving our school counseler to host a meeting to try to stop this cyber bullying. I know Facebook cannot monitor everything that goes on becuase their are over a million people who have accounts. The use of Facebook had definitely been abused in many ways.
The twenty first century has became known as the technology era. People rely on technology for everything in their everyday life .Communication, news updates, education, and work. Facebook has taken away from education for some people. When students get home from school and sit down to do their homework, they often choose to log onto Facebook instead. It has became a very big distraction for many people not only in school. People at work often tend to check their account off of their cell phones as well. Facebook definitely has it's positives as well though. It allows people to keep in contact and make new friends or build stronger relationships with people.
Over the past century our society has been changed due to the creation of Facebook. It has both broken and made relationships within people. Drama occurs everyday on Facebook, but people unite daily as well. I feel Facebook has been a good thing for our society even though people have been hurt very often.
