AN ARTICLE ON FACEBOOK

Facebook, today you can hear that word in everywhere, it became a part of our daily conversations, or rather to say, it became a part of our life. Just two years ago we were in the dark about that socializing website, but today I think almost everyone visit that website at least once a day. It is rumored that there are more than sixty million facebook user in the world, that is a huge amount. More than that, Facebook users are gradually increasing day by day. I read on an article about facebook and it said ‘Facebook continuous to be growing at the rate of around 5 million users a week according to the latest number.’ Can you image it, 5 million users just for a week. Only consider this 5 million, you can be aware of the growing rate of facebook..

So how about for Turkiye? In Turkiye there are more than one million users and this amount is getting raise. Facebook is so popular in Turkiye, especially among the students.

I heard from one of my friend that the creater of facebook already became the richest young in the world, I don’t know if that information is true, but it is possible of course.

So people sign up for facebook but what kind of expectation they have? If you ask that question to a regular facebook user, he will probably say ‘I can find my old friends and get in touch with them again.’ And he will add ‘ facebook help me to stay in touch with my old and present friends.’ That is partly right, or we can say that most of people sign up for facebook because of that reason, I mean for getting in touch with their old and present friends.

On facebook you can share videos, make comments on photos and play games too. Also you let others know your favorite songs, singers, movies, writers, books and so on. So it is especially a good way to kill time for women who pass the whole day at home.

Including me so many people on facebook don’t add people if they don’t know them or don’t share the past with them, but such people just form a minority group on facebook. Especially today most of facebook user use facebook in order to make new friends. That is coming to mean FB already deviated from its aim. It was created by Mark Zuckerberg as an easy way for him and his friends to better connect with schoolmates. But it lost its aim in the long run. I also signed up for fb to better connect with my friends, and I never try to enlarge my friend list, coz I don’t accept people who I don’t know.

Mark Zuckerberg don’t think the same things as he thought before. He see facebook as his company, as a source of income. That is why facebook announced to sell the personal information of the users. So it is so important to not enter your personal information on facebook such as information of your credit card, your mailing address or some other important private information. Your carelessness about information can get you into a lot of trouble later on. I urge you to think twice before signing up for facebook. Because, besides so many advantages, there are a lot of disadvantages of it as well.

I did some researches about facebook before starting to write that article. With the result that fb users spent their one billion and one-hundred million minute (1 billion and 100 million) before facebook. People really spend their times like hell before it. For me, I just open fb in order to check my e-mails and comments, and it takes my just a few minutes. I don’t care the videos or other’s photos so much.

Facebook is useful but if you can manage to use it properly. If you waste your time as watching all videos or checking all photos on your page, then you should deactivate your account and return to the real life. Life should not be ignored by passing whole times before a deceitful screen. Life is totally different from the cyber world. Neither love nor relationship is true on the net, so you should be careful.

Don’t forget to be careful for your information as well. Don’t be friend with anyone when you use your real information. Don’t expect the others to be as good-hearted as you are. You could be deceived, so I want to push you for caution again and again. Good luck to all.
