With all the modern technology and high-tech gadgets we have now it is no doubt that we are all being influenced by it, both in a good or bad manner. With the technology we have now we are able to reconnect with all the people we know and even meet with new faces, schedule events, play games and even send virtual gifts, this is all possible with the social networking sites we have now, and I guess everyone knows what I'm referring here - Facebook!
Facebook has greatly influenced everyone's way of living, it's like they have another world that only they can relate to. It served a lot of importance to people by letting them reconnect with long lost friends, it also serves as a way to acquaint and have meetings with the comfort of your own home. Although facebook has a lot of advantages, its disadvantages weigh as much. There are a lot of people now - especially students - that are completely disclosed in their lives and that they only thing about facebook and spend too much time doing facebook. Many are losing studying and homework time because of facebook, they procrastinate just to open their account and even lack sleep just to update; as troubling as that may sound I can't help it but admit that I am also one of those who are addicted to facebook.
As troubling as it sounds, it gets worst since I spend so much time doing facebook, my once active lifestyle has slowly depleted. I even got sick for a couple of days and my doctor prescribed that I should get active and go out more. Those sayings made me realize that there is something more important to do that just facebook. Just a few weeks ago I started to lessen my time in the computer and since I am getting really busy with my school, I only limit myself to at most 2 hours of facebook.
Technology is not a burden it's the abuse of man that made it that way. Facebook addiction can be avoided if one can have proper time management and control to one's self.
