Facebook one of the most influential site on our society today. Maybe many of us do have a Facebook account. But what really is the purpose of having one? Sometimes we do things just to be in you know the go with the flow, just to avoid being called "outdated". I was already in third year highschool then but I still not know about these things. I was not fond of playing games on computer nor joining these so called networking sites. But as the time came we had a subject about computer I had no choice I had to learn these things and also our only way to communicate with our teacher was through the computer. So after our class I'd run to the nearest computer shop because I'm the only one in class who doesn't have a networking site such as Friendster, My Space , Gmail, Ymail etc. Because it was my first time to handle computers I really had no idea what to do good thing I found one of my classmates and because there is still no vacant unit I asked him to help me. I was a little bit shy because he might laugh at me but he didn't that was one good thing. From then I don't know what happened I became addicted in computers. Until now I have my own Facebook account and I also joined other sites. Facebook is I guess one way to communicate with our long distance family, friends and others. This also make us receive news and informations faster with just a matter of seconds. Having an account like Facebook is like being updated to early happenings in our society. As of today Facebook is being used by police to track criminals. It is very useful because many people using it and because of that many people are being aware about the criminals. Some people also use Facebook in doing criminal acts. We have heard of young girls being raped by their chatmates in Facebook. So this only mean that we should balance our use of this. We should use it wisely and not to trust everything you see or meet in the site. We should always remember that everything that's excess is bad.
Facebook also can affect our living. Yes, it does have good uses but we should also take control of it. I am sure that it is very addictive. In fact, I am one of those who was hooked for the first time until I realized that I cannot do my homework. My point is that we should also minimize to use this as a habit.
