Homework. September 29 2010

How is Social Networking affecting young generation. Write effects of Facebook specially on students. then discuss the social and ethical issues.


Facebook started out as Website for ratings girls with their looks online, But it gradually turns itself into a number one social network website. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates and fellow computer science students Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.[7] The website's membership was initially limited by the founders to Harvard students, but was expanded to other colleges in the Boston area, the Ivy League, and Stanford University.

Now Over 500 million people, over the world is using Facebook as its social network website and will keep on increasing its number. Mark Zuckerberg intended this website for people over 13 or older to enter this website. But of course their are a lot of breach of age in the Facebook, allowing anyone to enter a false age to their account verifying that they are 13 or older. Once, i tried entering year of birth as 1911, It actually works. This not only cause a lot of pre-teens to own an account. It becomes vulnerable to online predators and so much more.

Facebook is not only affecting the pre-teens but its also affecting the Young generations (Teenagers), I use to remember when we use to watch television for 2 hours and head out and play ball for at least a couple of hours. Kids these days would waste 10 straight hours in Facebook for the heck of it. The social network offers addicting games such as Farmville, Cooking mama Facebook edition Etc. This not only affects the children's social life but affecting their eye sight and missing the greatest feeling being a children. 

Almost half of the users in Facebook are students either High school or Middle school. its a social network where all of their friends would talk to each other for timeless of hours. These affects the studies of the children, distracting them from their homework or even their daily life. 


Socially The Facebook is one of them most respected website in the world and its revenue is over $800 million. People loves the idea of everyone meeting online such as Facebook, but now the school and work place would ban the idea of having Facebook in their facility because of such distraction it's block (Such as Gmis).
Their is a few problems in Facebook too such as Breaching into People's Privacy, now possible.



Conclusion, The Facebook website is either loved or hated by the community and people around the world. The people around Facebook are still Naive compared to the older people, I rarely open my Facebook usually it takes around 5 min to check my own profile. but remember to know between boundaries of using a Facebook and giving information to strangers.
