Today the Internet has become an integral part of our lives as well as the work of most people. Along with the development of the Internet, social networks such as Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook ... bring many benefits, but also cause many harm to the lives of users.
In Vietnam, in recent years, Facebook is considered one of the most used websites, especially young people. Facebook has a tremendous value, for example, it's a convenient and free tool for connecting people to old friends, as well as sharing information about life. , task.
In addition, Facebook users can create groups, personal pages to share, exchange learning, work, life with group members ... students can use Facebook for learning. group, homework information, exam deadline ...
In addition, Facebook creates an environment where people discuss, discuss, and comment on issues in society. From there, it can help users to update the information quickly, more efficiently.
Many people also thanks Facebook for business, sales. With a huge number of users coming from all over the globe, Facebook is an effective channel for many corporations, companies to promote their images and products to consumers. As well, celebrities, football clubs ... promote the image, closer to the fans through the daily update of the news.
Although using Facebook has many benefits, but when we waste too much time it becomes harmful. And perhaps the most damaging thing about Facebook is that it makes us addictive. In Vietnam, spending too much time on Facebook is easily seen among young people. To say, many young people are "eating Facebook, drinking Facebook, and sleeping well Facebook."
Of course, it's hard to give the concept of "spend too much time" but in the morning try to take a picture, then photoshop and put it on facebook, sit "watch" how many people like (like ), comment. Or go to meals to take pictures of food and the like, as well as at school, when the teacher turns up the table, trying to surf Facebook to see what's new on Facebook, or open a new book. 2 minutes to look at Facebook once it is indeed time is being wasted on Facebook.
Although there are no specific figures, I find that we, especially young people, use Facebook solely for the purpose of posting pictures, chatting, or sharing food.
Facebook is a channel that gives us entertainment value. Posting photos, sharing food is considered good for entertainment, but as analyzed above, spending too much time leading to addiction is harmful. Can, indirectly affect the study, work and life of the user.
In addition, there are some minor harms from inappropriate use of Facebook, for example: Too much personal information sharing leads to theft of personal information, which many users use. For fraudulent misappropriation of property. Or some people set up group pages to criticize, neglect or negatively comment on others.
In a sense, Facebook is a virtual site. We should not "live" in the virtual world too much, such as, the use of Facebook chat will affect the ability to communicate directly ...
In order to overcome these limitations, it is possible to say that the user's perceptions play a decisive role, so there is the phrase "save yourself." However, each person has a different situation, a perception, a different thought, especially the young, with limited knowledge and knowledge. Education plays a very important role in the use of the internet in general, or in Facebook in particular. Education about using Facebook is not just about the school's responsibility, it's also about the responsibility of parents, or agencies, or businesses. For example, schools, families, companies, offices can block Facebook pages at certain hours (probably office hours). This restricts students, students to Facebook at school hours, limited staff, civil servants "grab" agency hours to enter Facebook.
It can be said, Facebook is the unity of two sides, benefit and harm. If we know how to exploit its values for the right purposes, then it brings about significant values.
