Review

Facebook is one the most popular social networking website that many of us have an account of. Everybody have their own views in whether having a facebook account is really worth our time to use on. The writer certainly thinks that facebook is an utter form of rubbish that had him watse one whole year of purely doing nothing at all which lead to him quiting but i beg to differ because facebook has it's own pros which may be one of the reason of it being so popular.
Facebook is a social networking website that allows you to meet friends all over the world and keep in contact with many friends that you had before. However,not many of them are still constantly present in your life that u communicate everyday or even meet before! This may be a good outlet for people to keep up with each other and allowing others to know what they are currently doing now as well as meeting more friends around the world. Relations between people have has therefore become virtual where we communicate only online more often than not. We have left out the core to building a good peer relationship which is to communicate one to one face to face especially with those that we come in contact with frequently. Facebook does not allow these kind of communication that builds close relationships, rather we are only friends on the surface where we only know each other existence and nothing more than that which really defeats the defination of being friends.
Facebook contains thousands of appilcation to choose from that your friends will probably spam you once you have an account. Many of them are just purely a watse of time whose sole purpose is for the fun that you could have with your friends. Rather than playing or taking quizes that sometimes make no sense at all, the author propose that we could have done more to the society from the time wasted.True enough these applications are harmful in a way that is addictive into playing games that has totally no meaning at all. Spending countless hours to use these application could have been channelled into more important targets of our lives which could be studying or working.
Facebook do have a positive effect on the society because of it's growing popularity, it is able to reach out to the world as such, events such as the recent earth hour event was publicized as an invitation. Facebook is an influential tool that we are able to use to call upon the masses for a global cause.The author talks about doing more meaningful stuff rather than spending it on appilcations that contribute nothing to your life, this is a perfect way to contribute to society in a meaningful way.
Facebook ultimately has its pros and cons but depending on the degree of usage that will affect whether its a great social network website.
