II. Read the text. Decide if the sentences are true or false and put a T (true) or an F (false) in the

Communication technology has invaded our life. Psychologists are

worried that youngsters do not want to spend time with anything else but social
media sites and live their relationships in a virtual world. The term Facebook
addiction describes a psychological issue which is very frequent nowadays.
People often choose to talk to each other via mobile phone, Skype, Facebook or
Twitter, scientists believe, because they may be afraid of getting to know each
other face to face. However, by doing this, they dont get to see their partners
facial expression or gestures, and human emotions are reduced to likes/
dislikes and smiley faces.
It appears that people dont even argue about things in the usual way and carry out quarrels in the
open, on these networking sites. Then other people make public comments about their conflicts. This is how
problems that should be solved privately and shared only with friends are eventually shared with numerous
online users.
Twitter allows users to send and receive short messages, called tweets, which are up to 140
characters long and can be sent from peoples computers or mobile phones. However, photo uploads are not
allowed. Twitter users follow what other people post, sometimes users promote events or products, but
sometimes they simply inform other people on their daily activities, such as Im off to school.
Facebook, the worlds biggest social media network, has announced that it now has over one billion
active users, which is one seventh of the planets population. Since its launch in 2004, there have been over
one trillion likes and over 17 billion uploaded photos.
Over 600 million Facebook users connect through mobile phones. In some African countries there is
a simplified version of Facebook, which can be accessed on mobile phones with no Internet connection, to
make sure that even people in rural areas have a Facebook account.
