Face book at today’s era have became the first
choice for almost many individuals to get rid of their regular stress or to
spend their leisure time in a more convenient way. It has become the best place
to share their feelings, depression etc.
Well, during the recent study
conducted by Swedish researches, several thousands of respondents aged 18 to 73
years were questioned. The results showed that Facebooking might become
uncontrolled habit. The majority of respondents visit Face book pages every day
without even realizing it and this form of resource utilization subsequently
develops into a addiction,” – says Leif Denti , doctor of psychology at the
University of Gothenburg.
The experts also said that women spend more
time on Zuckerberg’s social networking site more than men, because the social
network are often chosen as the best place to share their day-to-day story. It
has also been noted that they give false statement just to seek attention or to
show off their face book friends that are livelier or more excited with life
while there are also users who share their negativity as well their experiences
about themselves or nearby.
Some of the people are so into face book that they
cannot imagine a day working out without visiting Zuckerberg’s social
networking site because half of the users are afraid of missing something
important on face book Researchers have also found that the average Face book
users spend about 75 minutes a day on the site, women spend about 81 minutes
and men about 65 minutes well 70% of them surf whenever they switch on to data
connection on their mobiles or laptops.
A social networking site is a social network to
manage relationships with friends and family. However, users should not expose
everything on face book or any other social networking site because most
messages are associated with important and positive events and anyone can make
misuse of that information. So to protect that privacy should be maintained
while surfing any social networking sites. If we look positively at
Zuckerberg’s social networking site we come up with the conclusion that face book
helps in people in promoting their products or shows etc.
In face book you can
also create pages or groups of your own to and ask people to either join or
like your pages. It is also regarded as the more convenient way to link up to
other various sites by surfing on and on.
But not so long ago a similar study was conducted
by Professor Christopher Carpenter of the University of Western Illinois. The
scientist came to the conclusion that Face book provokes antisocial behavior
and exacerbates the tendency toward narcissism. The findings are published in
the scientific journal Personality and Individual Differences.
The expert
concluded that Face book offers more options for the internet users to connect
themselves with hundreds and thousands of people or non committal social ties ,
which are subsequently replaced by people full of communication. Well at the
same time people here often do things or try to present things which are not
been done by them it’s just that they suffer from narcissism where they want
more appreciation and admiration from others which ultimately leads to exaggeration
of one’s self importance.
