We, the youth spends a significant amount of our day wasting away in front of our computer screens. It’s either a movie that has us occupied or an overdue assignment! And then there is Facebook. The social networking website that once helped us in reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. But in no time at all, it began helping parents in keeping tabs on their kids and grandparents in keeping tabs on their kids and grandkids. But then came the Privacy option, and all was well again.
Sadly today, all that Facebook is used for is mindless
gossip and endless stalking. Not to mention, it has been turned into a platform
for insecure individuals to express and satisfy their insecurity.

Our crowded news feeds make us forget that it’s not just our
friend, families and celebrities who are linked to the Facebook world. And
that’s it possible to chat with someone in Ireland at the exact speed of
chatting with our next door neighbor. Not many people we know will happen to
have friends in other countries or even in other cities. And I’m not talking
about friends that they once knew before either of them moved to a separate location.
Facebook makes it possible to befriend people who live
thousands of miles away. Living in separate continents and time zones.
Belonging to different ethnicities, religions and perspectives. All in just one
click. Have you ever had any friends that you have never met? Friends that are
a part of your day to day life, yet it’s possible that you’ve never even heard
their voice.
