Facebook, a social networking website launched in February 2004 that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc. It was incredibly founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his colleagues while studying at Harvard University as a sophomore student. A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked Facebook as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users, followed by MySpace Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade 'best-of' list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?"
This attention-catching network has been part of the populace’s lives since it was officially launched. It was accepted and gradually liked by the general public. Most of the people today linked their lives to this network. Well, I can’t blame them. Facebook is undoubtedly irresistible. Kids, teens, adults and even the oldies have their accounts. Why is this so? Why does Facebook widely caught our attention? I have a classmate who once woke up early just to check her account; my colleagues in a particular subject did not sleep early not because they were so busy in their school assignments but because they were just busy commenting photos, some are playing with Farmtown and Farmville. See? Currently, the society is deeply engrossed with the system, embracing its every new feature. Many of us becomes a facebook addict, some can’t live and even going crazy without entertaining, checking what’s happening on his account.
Well, there are only two major explanations why this is vastly occurring. Let us first embark its advantages. Facebook is certainly an entertaining network. It helps us share and connect with the people in our lives in a way that we can upload photos and videos, comment to the photos uploaded, search for a friend or something, Users can create profiles with photos, lists of personal interests, contact information and other personal information. Communicating with friends and other users can be done through private or public messages or a chat feature. Users can also create and join interest groups and "like pages", it allows users to send virtual gifts to their friends that appear on the recipient's profiles, the Marketplace lets users post free classified ads and of course, you are updated with latest news, events, whose birthday is ongoing each day. Aside from its cunning features, it is also very gratifying. Just glimpse into the photos with the one you love makes you comment or like it.
Now, enough with the benefits, let’s fire the disadvantages of using the network. One of the discouraging matters about it is that it always clutches the attention of the users. Students converted their attention from making homework to facebooking, making the most of his time in front of the computer busy focusing on some stuffs of the network; some are unusually waking up early just to open his account. Facebook eats up our time, it also makes people sluggish.
But it depends on the user how will he manage his time not compromising the most important thing to do. It relies on his hands how he will respond. It is just a matter of time organizing. Just take the following prescriptions correctly: take discipline, hard work, and patience 3x a day and of course, the most effective medicine, prayer (every minute of every day) and everything will fall into the right place.
