My Observation on Facebook by Sonia 96540338

In this modern society, people tend to get contact to each other through the world of Internet. We college students usually use online messengers such as MSN, Skype, or Yahoo Messenger; but recently we have suddenly crazed on Facebook, a multi-functional personal web space. In fact, not only college students, a lot of office workers, teachers, even housewives, use Facebook. But why so many people love to use Facebook? In my opinion, it is very easy to use. Once your friends start to use Facebook, they may also ask you to use. And because it only takes few minutes to fill in the register information, after getting first touch of Facebook, you may think that it’s kind and user-friendly. Another reason that Facebook is widely to be used is that it records every movement of your friends. For instance, your friend uploaded some new photos, it will appear in your ‘Home’ page, so that you can notice that and put comments about it. Besides, if your friend had a new level for the games provided by Facebook, or they just used some funny applications, if they published, then there will be a post in your ‘Home’ page tells you that your friend had reached a new level or what they had done. Furthermore, you can also post anything like photos, status, videos, etc. in your ‘Wall’ and comment on. I think it is really convenient and interactive in the Facebook world.

For some people, leave a message or comment on friends’ wall seems not so important, they rather to play games. In my own case, I play games, too; but I don’t really addict to it. Indeed, those games do have their attraction, people can send gifts or hugs, link to friends’ place to look around or steal something; or they can send invitation requests to those friends who haven’t play the game yet. Some people are easy to spend much time on taking care of their games; for example, plant more plants so that it can harvest more, and sell for more money. Or, go to friends’ yard to steal some, more experiences and harvest you get, more money you’ll get, and also upgrade to higher level. It gives joy and excitement, and people get self-fulfillment on playing these games. All of the Facebook games are designed very fancy and attractive; no wonder so many people totally put their minds on these games.

However, sometimes using Facebook is wasting of time. For myself, somehow I feel I shouldn’t have played the games because it does take too many time to do all we need to do to play the game. Even we just send request to other people, like, giving hearts, balloons, teddy bears, etc.; sending those request back also takes much time, especially when friends are more. Everyday we just log on Facebook and do same actions again and again. Although Facebook provide a good space for us to keep in touch with friends, but I think we shouldn’t abuse its considerate functions, and don’t waste too much times; then it can be used well and effective, brings convenience to people’s life.
