Are you a good “Facebookers”?
I know Facebook,
my friends know facebook, elder people also know Facebook, and every people
know Facebook. Today, Facebook become a hot trend in our society, start from
youth till elder people, they love Facebook and they are Facebookers.
Facebook.com or we usually say Facebook and FB is a global social
networking website which is operated and privately owned by Facebook, Inc.
Facebook was launched in February 2004 by the founders, Mark Zuckerberg and his
friends. In his third year according to Compete.com in January 2007 Facebook ranked
as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users followed by
MySpace.
Even Facebook is growing rapidly in recent years, some opinion around us
divided Facebook into two points of view, black and white. I heard “buat apa sih
ngikutin zaman dengan Facebook yang buang-buang waktu” when I asked one of my
friend, then another friend add “dengan Facebook kita bisa tambah teman and
berhubungan dengan teman-teman lama yang berjauhan”. Opinions above were all true,
but it is back again in what side we see Facebook itself. Findlay and Agnes,
2008, found some advantages and disadvantages of Facebook, there are:
Advantages
- a) Allows user search for new and old friends
- b) Accessible to chosen universities having a high level of security
- c) Makes it less awkward when communicating with strangers or people you are not familiar with
- d) 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
Disadvantages
a) Overcrowding
b) Weakening
long distance relationship
c) Unsupported
by physical adjacency
d) Contributes
wide-range procrastination
e) Rampant
addiction
f) Stalking
is possible
g) Acquaintances
be labeled as friends
Whether disadvantages or the advantages, all above were true, just to
keep in your mind that we must see from every point of view. Look at the
positive while you are in negative and look at the negative while you are in
positive. Then finally you will find the balance of Facebook. In conclusion, by
using Facebook there are many advantages, but using too much over will led us
to disadvantages. Good Facebookers will use Facebook to find advantages without
causing disadvantages. Are you a good “Facebookers”?
