Facebook Addiction
Do you have a FB account? This is a popular question among youths these days. Why spend money on all those phone calls and SMS when here is a social networking websites like facebook, Hi5, Twitter etc. We are social beings and it is a necessity for us to socialize and live in the circle of friends, family and relatives. With the passage of time, the trend has definitely been changed as we don’t go below the tree to discuss certain issue.
Basically, the last five years have been contributing a lot in this trend.
It’s certainly not a wrong idea to get connected or stay in touch with our friends, families and the cheapest and easiest way has been facebook.
I remember the time when all of the friends of school got to meet together
after three years through FB. How can I forget my friends who we left us and moved to other cities eight years back and we got to drink tea, all because of the connection provided by facebook? So it is certainly not a bad idea to get social through the web of internet. It has brought significant change in our normal culture.
Millions of people are signing up for finding old friends and new friendship through the screen in their room.
Nepal is not far from this craze either.
It’s the teen-aged groups who seem much more interesting in this e-circle.
However, we can find the page of various personalities let that be Gagan Thapa or Chirag Bangdel in it. It’s interesting to get connected with the Rj’s and Vj’s we like through facebook. Fan pages created by celebrities are interesting too.
No doubt, there definitely exists lot of advantages of faceook. But we need to focus on its disadvantages as well.
Facebook indeed is a virtual place which gathers people and is much more open even than our real society.
Friends can easily get into the privacy.
So it has been a major challenge thereby to retain privacy within the virtual network. It is a real time consuming stuff. Nothing is surprising if someone spends the whole day on facebook, basically for students. This may hamper the studies of the students as well.
Not just students, it has been a trouble in various work places as well. As staffs are on facebook, it is obvious that he or she will get disturbed through it.
Ample cases of divorce, breakups can be found on Google just because of Facebook.
