Social media takes up a huge part in our lives. Social media infest us with information that are relevant and irrelevant to us. Marry Marrow wrote, “It was Facebook that changed the face of e-communication; in fact, it was the first electronic social media” (para 1). She assumes that Facebook is playing a huge role in electronic communication. In the journalist Maria Konnikova, “How Facebook makes us unhappy?”, Konnikova divulges many aspects of people on social media through researching and experience, and finds how social makes us unhappy.

“One day recently, Cynthia Newton’s 12-year-old daughter asked her for help with homework, but Newton didn’t want to help her, because she was too busy on Facebook. So her daughter went upstairs to her room and sent an e-mail asking her for help, but Newton didn’t see the e-mail, because, well, she was too busy on Facebook.” This unusual action, by a is from one of typical moms in this nation is excerpted from an article titled, “Five Clues…Facebook” from CNN. As the social networks system have s become rooted into our society, people have become way different from the past. As soon as Facebook came out in the world,When Facebook appeared, people were fascinated by it, and it grew as theinto the most massive, powerful social network that connects the wholein the world. Since the birth of Facebook, a majority of people became so addictive to it [D1] as Newton acted; so, what draws people into Facebook? What makes them click on the “News feed” button in every five minutes?

Facebook, is a social phenomenon with a dimensionless scale effects both positive and negative. Facebook has also generated interest among scholars and researchers who study its effects on the different layers of our life. As many studies suggested and my own life experience, Facebook can have some negative impact on romantic relationships, self-esteem, identity theft and other dangers to safety that result from an invasion of privacy. There are ways to minimize these negative outcomes, which we should be aware of.
Today’s society is centered around social media, not just for sharing photos, articles, funny videos you see online, but to keep in touch with those near and far with a push of a button. We come to a day and age where you can be anywhere on the planet and still be able to message your best friend who is sitting in their house thousands of miles away. I will admit that I love using social media because I can see what my friends are up to and keep up to date with today’s problems. Everyone from teenagers to the elderly use Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to show others what they may be up to or what they may have seen online. But the big question is “Is Facebook a fad?”.
Manjoo’s essay 'Is Facebook a Fad' provides extensive insight into various social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Based on statistics derived from Manjoo’s essay, we get to know that Facebook has over one billion active users and one half of them log into their accounts each day (Manjoo p.223). William Deresiewicz also eludes to this in his essay 'Faux Friendship'. As a result of so many people opting to turn to social networking sites, this in turn has made friendship to smoothly be integrated into the various new electronic lifestyles. One way that these sites poses an imminent threat to our ability to communicate face to face, is that, people have become so busy sending texts that they hardly don’t have time for their friends. For instance in America, studies have indeed confirmed that people with no close confidants have risen from one American in 10 people in 1985, to one in four thus making social networks a real threat (Deresiewicz p.478). Diverse effects of social networking. Alignment will be towards the the various issues and concerns sorrounding the social networking sites.
“Facebook undermines well-being rather than enhancing it”, Ethan Kross writes in “Facebook Use Predicts Declines in Subjective Well-Being in Young Adults”, a scholarly study of the negative psychological effects of Facebook. He recruited 82 Facebook users in the study to observe their Facebook activity, the state of mind, and direct social contacts. They reported that the more people use Facebook, the more their life satisfaction levels decline; the more the participants socialized in the real world, the more positive they are (721). “Why socializing on Facebook has a different effect from socializing in person?”, the author asks in the “Facebook Is Bad For You: Get A Life!” from The Economist.
Social networking is a social interaction between people in which they exchange information. The social network depends on web and mobile technologies in order to create interactive platforms where individuals share, discuss create and modify user contents. A social network is defined as being a social platform where individuals create public or semi- public profiles. What makes social network sites unique is not only the possibility to meet strangers but also to make visible their social networks. This emphasizes the connection between people around the world. Social networks became part of everyday life and are used from younger to the older age. One of the most famous social network, is Facebook. This social platform
According to Ramana (2012) Facebook is a new way for communication, connecting with friends, family and organisations all over the world, users can create personal profiles, upload photos, share videos, send message (chat features), share status on profile page with other users (Ramana, 2012). Facebook was launched in 2004, and then it reached more than 750 million active users in 2011, and half of them logged on daily. Users spend more than 700 billion minutes per month on the site (Boy and Ellison, 2007). Moreover, Facebook is rapidly becoming one of the most popular tools for social communication. However, Facebook is different from other Social Networking Sites since it demonstrates an offline-to-online trend; the majority of Facebook friends are met offline and then added later (Ross, C., Orr, E. S., Sisic, M., Arseneault, J. M., Simmering, M. G., & Orr, R. R. 2009). Surely, Many...
All in all, the popularity of social networking sites depends on copycat effect during people, convenience in themselves, and their good functions. When social networking sites are becoming an important part of people’s life, people should learn to make the most of these sites instead of wasting time. In other words, people are supposed to use social networking sites temperately but not be addicted to them. It is unwise to let the normal life of people be influenced by these sites. Remember that social networking sites are the joys of the life, but they are not all of the life.
How would your life be without your facebook account?

As a social species, which depends on human interaction and body language, Facebook is no substitute for what we need.

Online social networks have grown steadily in influence, especially in the United States, as they become an integral part of the college undergraduates’ culture. One primary social network is the website Facebook, which caters to the culture of undergraduate students, with its free user profiles containing the ability to post pictures, form groups, and create events. The capability of Facebook and other social networks to influence students is evident, but whether the overall effect is positive or negative is questionable. Dr. David M. Eberhardt, who received his doctorate in Education from Florida State University, addresses the issue of online social networks in his article “Facing up to Facebook” found in the publication “About Campus,” a bimonthly magazine focused on particular techniques and influences that college students experience during their education. He argues both the benefits and the negative effects of online social networks, especially those concerning incoming undergraduates while also providing advice to administrators on how to implement social networks in ways that improve students’ education. In the article, Eberhardt’s argument focuses on three inter-related areas of online social networking: the transition to college, the development of student identity and involvement in the campus community, and undergraduates’ learning abilities. However, I think that online social networks are most beneficial in helping undergraduates transition to collegiate life, but they can also lead to the development of more harmful trends in concerns to students’ identities and learning environments.
The innovation of advanced technology in modern devices like smartphones or laptops has increased the usage of Internet. “Facebook did not change the college life, but it changed the lives of the early adopters… many of whom were in college. We’re entering a phase where every single day we have more people over 25 entering Facebook than any other demographic” (Levy 370). It is addicting with some useful and helpful tool, but can be harmful too. Youths are the ones who will be controlling the nation so they need to be trained and qualified, but the use of Facebook and other sites is directing them in different path. In addition, sometime the discrimination of certain religions, nationality could lead it into a big issue, which will directly and indirectly affect the thoughts of adults. It is the source of distraction for them while studying so such kind of culture must be taken seriously. In order to prevent, youth must be educated in about awareness and seriousness of social
Facebook is beneficial to one's social life because they can continuously stay in contact with their friends and relatives, while others say that it can cause increased antisocial tendencies because people are not directly communicating with each other. But some argue that Facebook has affected the social life and activity of people in various ways. With its availability on many mobile devices, Facebook allows users to continuously stay in touch with friends, relatives and other acquaintances wherever they are in the world, as long as there is access to the Internet.
