Hi friends this topic old but i think its imported for student. Facebook a popular name among those who are so into it. Individuals who have an account in Facebook are now using more of their time to socialize with other people amidst the distance and lack of time. And even if a community like Facebook serves numerous advantages, it also proves to have certain disadvantages as well. There are now series of improvements in the system just to make up with the shortcomings. Arguments regarding the different advantages and disadvantages of Facebook are stated below.
Facebook Advantages
- Allows user search for new and old friends
- Accessible to chosen universities having a high level of security
- Makes it less awkward when communicating with strangers or people you are not familiar with
- Love attraction - can be used as a dating service system
- Makes it easier to join groups having similar likes and dislikes
- Allows members to check students who are taking the same class, living within the same area, or coming from the same academy
Facebook Disadvantages
- Overcrowding
- Weakening long distance relationship
- Unsupported by physical adjacency
- Contributes wide-range procrastination
- Rampant addiction
- Stalking is possible
- Acquaintances be labeled as friends
Surely, the disadvantages don't pose a threat to you just by merely looking at it. Someone else has to prove that what users do with their profile is directly in proportion with what can happen to them. A user must understand what he is trying to give out otherwise things might get messy and people will mistook them as someone else.
It is quite obvious that a trade off is happening between the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook. While it increases the communication and connection between friends and the online community it also increases the risk of procrastination and makes it easier for others to stalk a user. Worse, some are actually punished for what they put on their profile and would claim that it was there only for fun.
