8. ADVANTAGES OF FACEBOOK:
Facebook is free—and not only that, but it's also one of the best mediums for
communication. You can send messages, start a video call, and upload photos
and videos without charge.
Facebook lets you connect to different people from anywhere in the world.
People everywhere these days are familiar with Facebook. This gives you the
opportunity to learn more about the culture, values, customs, and traditions
of other countries—a modern-day pen-pal service without the hassle. It also
helps keep long distance relationships alive. Sometimes these across-the-
world relationships get serious and even end up in marriage—a testament to
the power of this social media platform.
Facebook is the most convenient tool for finding old buddies and keeping
friendships alive. Often when friends move away it’s difficult to keep
communicating with them. Facebook
provides the opportunity to easily communicate with your old friends and
keep up-to-date one what they're doing. It's fun to see their photos from
around the world!
9. DISADVANTAGES OF FACEBOOK:
Facebook is addicting! For some people, Facebook can be as habit-forming as
cigarettes! Facebook is a useful and helpful tool, but it becomes harmful if
you begin wasting your valuable time. This is the site's biggest disadvantage,
because the loss of your precious time can lead to other problems.
There are fake profiles and IDs. Now it is easier to create fake profiles using
stolen pictures. People often use fake profiles to insult or harass someone
they don't like.Teen girls are the most vulnerable to these activities. There
have been several news stories about people, normally students, who became
depressed or suicidal after being harassed on Facebook.
There are plenty of groups and fan pages out there that condone extremist,
unaccepting points of view. These are being created to abuse or violate other
religions, personalities, nationalities, etc. This kind of discriminatory and
often racist activity is not acceptable on a global site like Facebook. If you
see a site like this, report it. Facebook administrators should take necessary
steps against all of these abusive groups and pages.
