             In this era, there were many types of social networking. One of them is Facebook. Facebook itself was founded by Mark Zuckerberg and his friends. One of the reasons why Facebook became the best selling points is that it can build closer ties among beloved family and fellow friends. Every human being around the world of course, has at least one Facebook account so that they can communicate with their long distance family and friends. As a normal human being, I also have one Facebook account for that same reason.

          Based on the article that was written by Wortham title “All The Cool Kids Are Quitting Facebook”, Facebook also can ruin someone’s relationship such as the relationship between woman and her closest friends just because one small matter. Trust is the most important thing that contribute to this kind of issue. Amanda Lenhart, who had study research on teenagers, children and families at the Pew Internet and American Life Project said that people who used Facebook tend to have general sense of others and also institutions or organization. People made decison to not use Facebook because they afraid about the effects of Facebook towards them.


        On the other hand, people also afraid to open Facebook account because they did not want something bad happen to them in the future. For instance, nowadays, there were lots of stalkers get involve in social networking. Because of this stalkers, people especially teenagers always become their victims of fraud.


       Yes, Facebook is very helpful because it can act like a connecter to you so that you can always communicate with your family and colleagues although they live far away from you. But, you also have to think about the side effects of Facebook towards yourselves. As we know, there were lots of criminal problem reported by newspaper. The criminal problem such as fraud often manacle the Facebook’ users.

       People think that by using social networking, it can increase your popularity and social life. It is totally different with my opinions and thought. What the use of having thousand of friends in social networking sites if you have no privacy at all ?

  3. i just want to say i love the word that you use which is "What the use of having thousand of friends in social networking sites if you have no privacy at all ?" i agree that by using Facebook we have no privacy at all. can you just imagine once we log in or sign up for Facebook, everyone will know about our personal details and automatically we had no privacy to be concern about. as we know privacy is the most important thing for human.

  4. this is the fact. people nowadays think that if they have thousands of friends, they automatically feel that they were already popular or glamor although they did not know that their "thousand of friends" actually want to become their stalker only.

  5. just like Syaza said, facebook can be helpful and at the same time will be very harmful. i'm quite agree with the term "What the use of having thousand of friends in social networking sites if you have no privacy at all ?" that's what teenagers, or maybe people thought about this. they misunderstood about what is "popular" actually. but, can you imagine a day without facebook?for me, it's like an empty day because facebook can be the alternative way to contact my family, friends and fellows rather than call them directly :)

  7. facebook give the effects towards our daily life .. it is our choice to decide either Facebook gives us advantages or disadvantages .. as we know, social networking becomes an important ways to interact with others right .. in this case, we can know that Facebook gives us an alternative to connect with others in easy way .. however, at the same time, people will comes out with their bad perceptions when Facebook gives disadvantages towards their life such as destroying their relationships... that is my point of view .. tQ
