Almost all of us have access to the Internett, so we barely imagine everyday life without using social network. Now I'm going to talk about the most popular one. It is Facebook. February 4, 2014 Facebook is celebrating its 10th birthday. Just think of it, how were we living without this communication tool. Apparently, it has both supporters and antagonists who emphasize quite opposite features of the social network.
As you know Facebook has lots of advantages. First of all, it is a universal means of communication throughout the world. You can use it for chatting with your best friend living next door, a boyfriend/girlfriend needing 24/7 being in touch or a pal from another part of the world. Moreover, it is not necessary to spend money, the only thing you need is the Internet access. Also, new relations are developed with the help of Facebook. Secondly, this communication tool provides opportunity for disabled people to contact with outside world, furthermore, it gives them confidence to be equal members of society. Then, in the cyber space it is not crucial what is your social status, therefore, common people as we are can easily have a chat with a famous person. Lastly, Facebook is playing an important role in changing and improving social as well as political transformation around the world. Particularly, the Arab Spring overflowed the Middle East and North Africa by the use of Facebook. That is nationals of the states involved within borders and abroad shared their opinions and discontent about the current government. This lead to the social unrest in the streets, consequently, the regime was overthrown. However, this advantage of Facebook is quite controversial. Actually, you can dispute my point of view.
Obviously, there is probability of being harmed using the social network. Precisely, it is an issue about the private security. Because of the recent shocking denunciations of US intelligence related to interception, breaking mail and using private information. Hence, people should think twice before putting personal data on websites or social networks, since there is probability that it could be used improperly. One more negative feature spending time in cyber space is a chance to be fooled by professional frauds and lost a sum of money. In fact, the most wide-spread disadvantage of using Facebook is procrastination. Briefly, active users of the social network are carried away by their gadgets, moreover, they care about virtual attractiveness so much that they worry about the number of likes more than the weather outside. Today's people are not enjoying life despite we have opportunities to have fun with friends, to travel, to meet interesting persons, to read books, to be engaged in favorite work and to develop oneself. Precisely, we forget how wonderful is to communicate face to face, to see real emotions instead of meaningless smiles.
Finally, it is important to mention that to use or not Facebook or any other social network is a personal affair. My post merely uncovered several crucial points both for and against.
