A Virus named Facebook.


Nowadays, there are many “IT products” that related to social networks, for example: Hi5, MySpace, Tagged, Skyrock, Orkut, Friendster, Cyworld, and Facebook. These “IT products” have created new ways to communicate and share information. They are being used regularly by millions of people, and now it seems that social networking will be an enduring part of everyday life.

Some friends told me that they become addicted to some kinds of social networks lately. Even, a few weeks ago, a friend of mine told me that he spends 75% of his time having fun with this such of social networks while the other 25% was spent in study (Parahhhh kali … hahaha…). Frankly, I am also susceptible to this kind of “IT products” lately, particularly Facebook. Hehehe… it makes me become very addictive. A day without “facebooking” seems drained of. Berlebihan ya boww…. Hihihi…

Facebook is being like a virus that affacted me much,-as many people do-. The indication is just like “cough potato”,- wasting a lot of time in front of my laptop just for “facebooking” though is’s with or without consuming potato chips. I am used to moving with no clear direction or purpose on it. Just for fun, but is is time consuming. Oghhh… poor me!

So, why facebook and other social networks are being virus? Basicly, the main types of social networking services are those which contain directories of some categories (such as former classmates), means to connect with friends (usually with self-description pages), and recommender systems linked to trust. Moreover, we can post the status where it can be commented by friends in uncommon way. It’s given us a lot of fun.

Since realizing that there are many things must be done lately, so how to get out of this infection? Can we be discipline and control ourself from this kind of distractions? Huhuhu… Emmm….
