What is facebook for? I think it is completely unecessary , but yet I use it too. It is not needed for anything. You can communicate with friends with your cell phone, which everyone has. Yet I am on it as I write this blog, why? It gives away informaton that you would not normally tell to 2,000 people or however many friends you have... sry i was side tracked by facebook and lost my train of thought. Well, for example I know when everyone of my friends begins or ends a relationship just by looking on the home page's live feed. Yet, most of these people would not tell me if i asked them who they were having a "complicated" relationship with. Also many people put personal information like phone numbers, which I stupidly did yesterday when I got my new phone. Anyone can recieve this information! For example I would not want some random guy/girl to start texting me if they see my number. That could get annoying! Literally there is nothing useful that Facebook does but either get you in trouble or annoyed, yet it can be classified as an addiction.

I agree that is completely unnecessary, but a lot of things today that we have don not serve a meaningful purpose. These things are just around to entertain us. When our parents were growing up they did not even have computers until they were much older, and they still survived. We do not need most of the things every teenager has, but we are so used to having these luxuries that we cannot imagine life without them. Like cellphones, people survived without them. But kids cannot seem to put theirs down. We indulge in things we don't need all the time, we just don't realize it.
ReplyDeleteFacebook does help in someway though you can't argue that. My dad has one (weird i know?) and he's in a group with all his high school friends and they plan when to get together and stuff. This wouldn't be possible otherwise, in today's day obviously they all have cell phones but no one knew each others numbers so simply by typing in the persons name you can locate them instantly. To kids facebook doesn't help us "reconnect" with old friends but at some point who knows? It helped my dad and many other adults as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree and disagree with what you are saying. Facebook in many ways is unneccessary and provides personal and usless information to others, however at the same time you may find people that you never expected to find. For example, a few weeks ago a cousin of mine from Australia messaged me becuase she found me on facebook! I never even knew she existed I must say there are a few reasons why facebook can actually be a good thing.
