I know I already wrote a little bit about this topic when I was brainstorming for my first paper, but there is more I want to say. Facebook has a lot of positive and negative effects on our society.
Pro’s:
-Facebook is a new form of communication
-Connect family and friends
-Helps anti-social people communicate
-Some people express themselves better when writing
-Other businesses add features
-Other businesses are advertised
-You can meet new people
-You can keep up to date with friends
-You can play games
-There are always new applications
Con’s
-Lower social skills
-Allows strangers creep on your page
-You can misunderstand what a person is trying to say (writing style)
-There is a lot of gossip and drama spreading
-It’s a huge distraction
-Intrusive on personal property
-Friends are not always friends
-There are useless advertisements
-Easy to lie and deceive (fake pages, lying is easier when it has to be written)
-Dangerous (sexual harassment, stalkers)
-Youth encouragement (Facebook is open to all ages, little kids may see older people doing things and they start to think it is ok to do the same at their age)
Just some random things to think about.
