Now we shall talk about the advantages of
facebook
Facebook, with 900+ million active users, holds a great deal of advantages. You can use it
for your personal growth, professional growth or none the less you can use it to find a job
for you. As I mentioned above there are many advantages and disadvantages of
Facebook, So lets start with some of the advantages of Facebook.
No doubt, Facebook is the most powerful social media and social networking site. You can use
Facebook to connect with your family, friends, work colleague and to meet new people. This is
the best way to find your school, college or any other old profile. Most of the people who know
how to use a computer and internet, have a profile on Facebook. Moreover, it’s easy to find like-
minded people by seeing their interests, and you can easily connect with them using wall
updates, private message, poke or text, and video chat.
Facebook
for Networking
Facebook is also famous for finding a date. College students and youngsters are using Facebook for dating and to
make new friends. Indeed, with a social networking powered by over 900+million active users, it’s easy to find a
date for yourself that shares common interest and hobbies. This way, most of the time you don’t get into the issues
of in-compatibility.

Talking about positives of
Facebook, it’s a real-time
social networking site and
it’s one of the best sources
to stay updated with latest
news and updates. Major
news usually goes viral on
Facebook and you will not
miss important updates.
Bloggers and Internet
marketers can subscribe to
popular blog Fan pages and
keep themselves up with
latest updates. In fact, I have
one profile just to gather
news. You can see our
article on RSS graffiti, which
will give you an idea of how
you can use Facebook as a
personal RSS reader.
Facebook as source of information & news
And now the disadvantages of
facebook
One of the major concern and disadvantage of the Facebook is to do with Facebook privacy. In the past, it
has created many buzz due to sudden changes in Facebook privacy settings but now Facebook has
simplified it’s privacy setting. Due to ignorance and lack of understanding of Facebook privacy feature,
people make many mistakes. Another situation to consider has to do with the availability of information
too personal, whether in video, pictures or text. Never give out too much personal information. As
throughout the Internet, we should bear in mind the privacy of your personal data, because after they are
placed online lose your control.
Facebook privacy
One of the most
prominent disadvantages
of Facebook is your
privacy on Facebook.
Later on Facebook
simplified the Facebook
privacy, but still many
newbie make mistakes by
publishing private images
and status update publicly.
Also, people usually keep
their Facebook friend
list visible to public, and
this helps Facebook
stalkers to find more
information about you.

REAL FAKEVS.
Facebook is full of fake profiles of girls and guys. You will find tons of fake Facebook profile with
beautiful profile picture of a girl. There is no limit to such profile, and most of them are created by
stalkers or by marketers to gain more friends and use it for their marketing purposes. There are
many ways by which you can find a Fake Facebook profile, which we will cover in upcoming article.
Of all the Facebook disadvantages, I believe this is one of the
major reasons why people deactivate or delete their Facebook
profile. Being, one of the best way to know what your friends
are up to, people spend too much time on this social
networking site. Facebook offers many entertainment
applications and games which engage users to a great extent.
Apart from that, Facebook chat and Facebook video chat are
another two-time consuming feature. If you want to use
Facebook for your advantages, use it for specific time-limit in a
day. Spending too much time on Facebook, might make you a
Facebook addict, and you might end up wasting too much
time on Facebook.

Effects on teenagers
Facebook users demographic in INDIA
(age group)
On a happier note, there were a few benefits to Facebook
use, including: Development of a "virtual“ empathy which
actually affected friends' moods positively, and caused teens
to be more empathetic in their everyday lives, as well. It
seems that encouraging comments online can put a smile on
someone's face and improve moods.
Positive Side Effects of facebookand Social Media
o Facebook and other social networking sites give shy
children a way to socialize which might otherwise be
lacking altogether. Hopefully, this virtual training ground
can extend into actual face-to-face interactions.
o Use of Facebook may impact self-esteem in a positive way
and allows children to develop their self-identity. Choosing
a profile photo, listing likes & dislikes, favorites of this-and-
that, quotations, and the like, all "force" your child to
become more self-aware.
Positive Side Effects of facebookand Social Media
o Teens who use Facebook frequently may
become narcissistic. Narcissism is an, "inordinate
fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity." Most
likely these are not the character traits you desire for your
child.
o Teens who have a strong Facebook presence may display
psychological disorders, such as anti-social behaviors,
and mania & aggressive tendencies. An anti-social child
often does not consider the effects their actions have on
others. This can be quite dangerous, especially during the
already-volatile teen years. Perhaps this should be termed
the anti social media effect.
Negative effects of facebook on teens who overuse this social media include
o The Facebook effect is real, but teens who "overdose" on
technology daily, and this includes video games too,
have higher absenteeism from school and are more likely
to get stomach aches, have sleep issues, and feel more
anxious and depressed.
o Isolation: One can suffer from isolation as one will tend to
be glued to the computer and move out of the house and
meet people. Normal socializing that is interacting with
people is also essential. A shy child might prefer to
communicate only through Facebook only and otherwise
o Promotes laziness: Sitting in front of computer and
browsing through Facebook can lead to laziness. It is a
sheer waste of time
Negative effects of facebook on teens who overuse this social media include
o The dangers with using social networking sites are very
serious ,in my opinion they are good for our society as
long as the correct precautions are taken.
o However, when it comes down to whether social
networking is right for you is something only you can
decide, using your own judgment & past experiences.
o Before becoming a member of a social networking do
your homework of what it has to offer you.
o We may all agree that Facebook really is a fun way to
interact with our group of online friends, but we should
never forget that our friends online are just virtual and
what matters most is the reality of being able to connect
through conversations offline.
FINAL
JUDGEMENT
It is just up to us on how we will be using Facebook in terms of
communication and entertainment. Deciding if Facebook is a bane or a
boon depends on how we see Facebook as tool in the modern industry.
