Why is it that Facebook these days has become everyday conversation? You hear your friends say facebook me and when you get in a relationship it’s not official until you make it facebook official. What is it about facebook that is driving everyone bonkers, has it become a necessity in our everyday lives?
Facebook is the new “it” thing to do. If you don’t have a facebook in this day and age you tend to be the outcast of the group. It has created a new way of conversation for teenagers and even middle aged and the elderly. Everyone seems to find enjoyment from facebook and other social media sites. Facebooks simplicity causes it to be the most popular among the other social media attractions.
Yes facebook seems to be taking over teenager’s everyday lives, but I am going to go out on a limb and take the side of the argument that not many people take and say that facebook and other social media site can actually be extremely helpful to everyone. The convenience of the site is the biggest plus. You can just search things right on the search bar. Whether you’re searching to find a new friend that you have just met or you are searching to find an answer to a question you can just type in the search bar and it will bring up the nearest results and help you find your answer in milliseconds.
Also if you need help on your English paper you can just get on facebook and message your paper to a friend of yours that you have that is extremely good at English and have the over view your paper and give you some constructive criticism on your work and how you can improve it. It’s actually incredibly convenient because it’s just as fast as e-mail but who uses e-mail nowadays. Most people prefer that you just shoot them a message on some type of social media site. I have caught myself doing this a lot. It’s just so simple and you get quick feedback from the person and it helps you improve your grade on that paper. Even if you just want them to read over it real fast just to have another person’s opinion on the paper you can do just that in seconds.
On facebook as everyone knows you have the ability to like pages that are within your interests. There are a billion of possibilities for pages you can like from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to 10tv news. The thing about these pages is that if you like a page such as 10tv it will post the most recent updates right on your news feed so you can be totally up to date with the latest and greatest news. I find it incredibly helpful because if I can’t find time within my busy schedule to sit down and watch the 5 o’clock news you simply can just log into facebook and look on your news feed and then just click on their page and read all the news. This is actually probably my favorite feature of facebook because I always work throughout the afternoon into the night and never have time to watch the news. You should always stay caught up with the world around you and this happens to be the easiest way for me to do so.
In conclusion to the whole debate about facebook and other social media sites whether or not you think that facebook is a blood sucking addiction that people can’t shake or if you think as I do and think that it is quite helpful either way you can’t stop the usage of facebook. You, yourself can delete your facebook page but it’s up to the rest of the world to determine whether or not they are for or against the whole idea of everything they can imagine being online. Don’t fret over it just enjoy your life and do what you please. Just remember moderation in all things is the key.
