Facebook is the largest social network site with about 500 million users around the world. It was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg. People argue on the effects of facebook. Some say its a great way to re-connect with old classmates and keep up with your friends. Others say its a complete waste up time and its taking over the lives of our teens today.
Sarah Lacy says in an article that facebook helps her be more considerate towards her friends because she can now remember their birthdays. "My parents and in-laws know everything happening in my life so that when I call home, we have substantive conversations, not the awkward, “So…..whatcha been up to?" variety. " ( Sarah Lacy )
Someone else argues that facebook is bad for your relationships. "The social networking site Facebook puts its users abreast of the activities of their contacts, but also can be a poison for relationships and, as revealed in a recent study, is increasing jealousy and tensions between their supporters." (why Facebook is bad for relationships) He says in his article that facebook helps you see things that would other wise be unimportant such as a photo that your spouse has taken with someone else or a wall post he has left on an ex girlfriends page.
Other people argue that facebook is taking over peoples lives. ""I'm an addict. I just get lost in Facebook," Newton said. "My daughter gets so PO'd at me, and really it is kind of pathetic. It's not something I'm particularly proud of. I just get so sucked in." (Elizabeth Cohen) Paula Pile a therapist said she had three cliets with "facebook problems."
