300 million people all over the world? And they’re just getting started as what Mark Zuckerberg said in his article. Wow! That’s how popular facebook is today. What started as a simple project of a college student is now a phenom. It’s hitting people of all ages like a virus. Inspite of the many advantages and disadvantages, even threats to some, facebook is gaining popularity among the young crowd. I have seen a documentary of true events that happened here in our place where teenagers were lured to online pornography and prostitution due to this so called social networks. Posing as friends, innocent young people are victimized by the evil schemes of these evildoers just to take advantage of their innocence. An article I just read stated that Facebook is more dangerous than T.V. today.
 
Well, one has to be careful not to overdo anything. One mom testified her rampant addiction to this social network. She recounted her ordeal of paying four times the amount of their electric bills and even neglecting her duties as a mom due to her addiction to Facebook. On the other hand T.V. can be addictive too but you have to stay at home to really watch it. While Facebook can be viewd anywhere. At school, in the office, at the park, coffee shop…and the list goes on. This makes it more available to people almost anywhere. Yes while it’s true that Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life, still one has to be careful and be aware of the dangers of letting strangers, even those posing as friends enter your private life. Use it wisely and carefully and don’t be a victim.FACEBOOK VS. T.V.? 300 million people all over the world? And they’re just getting started as what Mark Zuckerberg said in his article. Wow!
