do you think facebook brings people together or drives them apart? - paulio - 11-09-2012 07:53 PM
has facebook made us couch potatoes, hand picking our friends and communicating through windows, or is has it brought us closer together?

it has brought new friendships together but has perhaps seperated already formed relationships

I think that anyone who spends more then three hours per day on facebook should be institutionalized or get some other sort of help.

facebook is a very unsafe site out gives out too much personal data and should be avoided

I think its a bit of both.
On one hand it can help people get in contact with long lost friends and relatives, it makes it easy to organise social events such as birthday party's, and some of the games can be fun too.
On the other hand, people can basically stalk their friends from their living rooms, finding out everything about people they may never have met, a lot of argument's can develop over 'status updates' or comments on other people's pages.
Personally i think facebook is good in moderation. We shouldn't let it rule our lives. We should be out enjoying the lovely weather (when we have it) and actually socialising with our friends and colleagues instead of sitting at the computer.
