Facebook+Maddi

The technology, facebook, itself is a tool. This resource is mainly used for connecting with family and friends that are hard to speak to because they live elsewhere or other reasons that they are disconnected. It makes us more social with our friends, but at the same time, it can be distracting because it takes study time and time from family because it is so addictive.

Facebook was invented February 4, 2004. Both my parents and grandparents didn’t have facebook and they still don’t because they have no interest in social networking. I personally find facebook as just a fun thing to do on the computer but my family does not think facebook is necessary and that it is a waste of my time. I usually disagree with them but the thing that I do agree with is that I spend too much time on it and that I could balance out a schedule so that I can spend time outside with family and friends.

Technology such as facebook is not needed but is very helpful in some cases such as finding what is for homework from a friend or to find out the date of a special occasion. It encourages us to spend more time on the Internet and the computer in general which can lead to spending more time and energy on other websites. Facebook might help the relationship with yourself because you’re supposed to put info about yourself on your profile so you think more about your personal traits. You can learn more about yourself but since you are out in the public world, you need to keep in mind that everyone can see your profile and it is possible to be judged based on what is posted on your wall. It increases the time talking to friends but can eliminate the time spent with your family at home.
