Do you have a
face-book account? This question seems to be ridiculous because it’s hard to
find someone who doesn’t have a face-book account in the current society. In fact,
as face-book has become so popular all over the world, it has dramatically changed
our lives a lot. However, as there are always both advantages and disadvantages
in any changes, face-book syndrome also has brought both positive and negative
effects in our lives.
According to Doug Gross, face-book has made many
differences in our lives. First, we share lots of information. Second, we can
find what we wrote in the past whenever we want and we can also find our old
friends whom we couldn’t keep in touch with. Third, face-book can make us
happy. It makes people feel that they are belonging to the society and sometimes
it help people raise their self-esteem by showing off their lives. Further,
people can reunify easily through face-book. Finally, we even can determine
what we want to share and whom we share our information with, so we can share
everything while we protect our privacy at the same time.
However, the writer says that there are also following disadvantages. First
of all, over sharing information makes people keep from judging useful
information. Second, people don’t want to look over or show their past. Based on
the article, face-book contributes to the increase of divorce rate because people
have an inappropriate relationship through face-book. Third, face-book can make
people unhappy, too. When people see that others live happier than themselves,
they feel depressed. Next, there are some whom people don’t want to keep the
relationship with. So, face-book makes people feel awkward in a certain
relationship. Finally, although people are careful to protect their privacy,
there is always limitation.
To conclude,
it is true that face-book has being affecting our lives in positive and
negative ways. If we cannot stop the development of the technology, we should
prepare the solution. Also, as we can see, there are many merits we can get
benefits from face-book. Therefore, what we have to do is that we should have a
judgment. We have to be able to discern which information is useful to us and
we also have to be able to control our time to spend on face-book. Endless self-examination
and self-assessment can be a key to solve problems which have appeared in this
modern society.
