facebook Impact

This paper is a personal opinion ..


Up so rampant in some countries. Its growth is quite rapid. Starting from social networking sites in a rapidly growing university and to many countries. Commenting on this case everything was originally started with small things and developed into a major. The level of complexity and network system originally developed from simple to very complex. Ideas that can be taken is a simple plan of things and realize the plan. All there is nothing instant. Along with the realization that changes must be made simple so that the original plan into a work that was useful.

This time I wanted to share my opinion about facebook. Starting from its positive effect first. Of course, with up we can go back to meet with old friends while in cyberspace. With facebook communication between friends become fluent though far apart. Or features enough variety to make comfortable using it. For those who are far from their original communities because such duties were outside the city or study abroad facebook benefits are felt. I experienced I can still follow the development of my community in Indonesia even though I'm further study in germany. This is necessary because I would not be alienated his return from Germany and perform tasks on my campus initially. Many experiences of friends who study the past alienated over the years, so like a freak when it returned to its original community.

With up we can exchange ideas with great ease. Information exchange is facilitated by very good. For example when we need something or want to know about something live we write in the status it will be a lot of feedback from our friends.

Up can also be used to campaign for an idea such as Say No to Drugs or any other ideas. Build community through the Group or Pages with good intentions will be very useful. Growth Group or Pages on Facebook is quite fast. Something that will develop quickly if built together.

With the pages, a company can advertise its products. Regarding the more detailed rules can be asked to Facebook Team. Should we use it up positively.

Its positive effect may be widely known. Adverse effects are sometimes not aware of. I describe some adverse effects up:
1. Reduce performance
Many company employees, professors, students who play facebook at work. Want to be recognized or not definitely reduce working time. Actually be reduced as a result if we can manage the time that is playing facebook when it breaks. I personally forbid facebook for me when I'm at the institute. Monday through Friday from 9 to 18 is forbidden time for me to open facebook.
2. Decreased attention to family
Want to be recognized or not this happen if we open facebook when you're with family. A study in England showed that older people less and less time with their children for various reasons. One was due up. It could happen the husband was writing a wall, the wife is making koment in photographs taken care of while her maid. I am one of those old-fashioned in this regard. I will limit myself and my family to just play facebook or sms's are not important moments with family.
3. change of social life
Facebook is very comfortable at all. So some people feel comfortable enough to interact via facebook, thereby reducing the frequency of the face meet. There is a thing that is missing from this interaction. Face to face very different and should not be replaced with a meet in cyberspace. Chat, eye gaze, facial expression, laughter through laughter can not be replaced by a barrage of words even though the video.
4. Limitation of personal and social sphere have become blurred
In the up we are free to write anything, often without realizing we write down things that should not be submitted to the social sphere. Household problems without realizing someone else can be known by only considering the status of the person.
5. The spread of important data that should not
Facebook users often do not realize some important data that should not be displayed publicly. As explained in the article about the safety of facebook, the default of info we should be closed and not displayed. If indeed there is a need recently opened one by one as needed.
6. Pornography
As with other social networking sites that make use of any such site to pornographic activities.
7. Utilization for negative events
Even though its use has been regulated in the rules up, still there are those who use facebook to negative activity by groups or pages.
8. Misconception
Facebook is a social network that are open between the user and his friends. Like the real life gossip or slanted information quickly can also develop in this tissue. It must be realized to write in status, on the wall and comments are the same in different applications such as chat in real life even more severe effect was probably because the language of the writing sometimes lead to misinterpretation. There have been cases of firing an employee because who does not supposed to write on facebook, also occur prosecution to court because of misunderstandings on Facebook.
9. Affect health (still debate)
An article in the British media said up to enhance stroke and other diseases. The reason given in my opinion still needs to be studied again. If my opinion not because he's facebook but because habits linger in front of the computer.
10. Fraud
Like other online media, Facebook is also vulnerable exploited for fraudulent purposes. We will not know exactly who is behind facebook account. People easily create a new account for purposes that are not good. Some use the mode and eventually became intimate acquaintance in cyberspace which was ultimately used to commit fraud or other criminal acts.

For me personally that being away from family feel very fortunate to get in touch with family through cyberspace. With facebook family activity can be followed even though far apart. Facebook is a tool, good or bad effects depending on one's ability to regulate itself. Let's use something appropriate portions. Understand the true ethics in virtual life proper ethics in real life.
