disadvantages of facebook

Affecting Relationships
Talk about long distance relationships, Facebook would be the one answer friends, family and
lovers can count on. Though conducted on a distance, the system can still connect relationships
right that very moment. But because relationships are built and strengthened just because of an
Internet site, it tends to become weaker and it supports less emotional and most especially
physical contact. Some relationships tumble down due to facts like these.

Affecting Emotions
Because Facebook adapts a free-flowing information environment, some uses it to target on
other's emotional depression. Others send out procrastination just to bring down a specific person
or even bully a student in the lower years. Targeting the emotions may cause a negative attitude
towards a person's social relationship, physical activity, and academic issues.

Affecting Industry
Even if the system overflows with so much advantages that one can be joyful of, there are still
numbers of flaws that one can pinpoint. Internet industry is greatly affected by sites popping out
to render a technical community. This is where the rivalry starts. The crowding is also becoming
an issue. The program is considered as a negative diversion especially to the schooling industry,
affecting students to divert their attention.

Affecting Privacy
Cyber stalking is one thing. Barging into someone's privacy is another. Come to think about it,
cyber stalking and invading one's privacy goes hand in hand. A person who is engaged in cyber
stalking tends to know everything about a person and uses it first hand. A lot of a user's personal
information is so accessible that almost everyone, even those who know you but you don't know
of, can view it.

Superficiality
There are those who would want to be recognized as someone even in the Internet society. But
thanks to sites like Facebook, some are already being characterized superficially because of the
user's identification of their personal favorites. It's like being one with the world and being one
with the trend without forming any kind of identity that one can point out to be unique.

The important thing about having Facebook is that a person be discreet in the information that is
given out. Privacy and other things stated above can be prevented if the user won't give out any
kind of information that he considers private.

face to face. You may run out of conversations when you actually meet with the person in real
life. This is why it is important to create a balance between facebook and your social life.
