FACEBOOK

            The importence of social networking has continued to grow. That’s why Faceboo has easily spread like wildfire among collage campuses ang high schools. Today, it is practically a requirement for collage and high school students to have a Facebook page, or risk being alienated from other students.

            There are certainly many benefits of having a profile on Facebook and regularry updating it. it’s a great way to stay connected to friends and family all over the world.

            Facebook allows users to connect with other users through networks. Many people have met their brothers and sisters who have been separated for a long time.

            People can also deliver updated information about themselver on Facebook so that all of their friends know what they do or where they are today. It is very easy to load a multitude of pictures or videos ti specified Facebook albums. You can “tag” your friends in these pictures, so that the pictures will show up on their Facebook profile.

            Moreover, Facebook provides many games and quizzes. These features are very entertaining. They provide a fun way to keep in touch with friends.

            Despite what most people think, there are also many risk created by Facebook. Even if one’s profile privacy has been restricted, it is still very easy for other people to access the profile. There is always a chance that a “predator” will find information and use it to cause harm. In fact, many users fail to make use privacy settings at all, leaving them that much more vunerable to “online predators”.

            Also, friends may tag you in pictures or videos that you’d rather not have others see. Perhaps, you were pretty wild on one occasion last night, or were even enganging in some illegal activities. If your photos are posted up and tagged in to your friend list, consewuently, a teacher or one of your parents will see these and not be very happy abaout it. there are many people who have not been hired because an employer did not like what they saw on the applicant’s Facebook profile, or photos their friends put on.

            Moreover, Facebook wastes a lot of time. It can be pretty addicting, like any website, so make sure you set a time-limit for how long you can spend on the website, or you won’t accomplish anything. And if you are using a computer for schoolwork, avoid Facebook at all costs, it’s one of the best procrastination tools out there.

            Whether or not you have a Facebook or use it on a regular basis, it is good to know the risks and he rewards, so that you can adjust your habits to make your time spent networking safer and more rewarding.
