Facebook

I read the article " Does Facebook replace face time or enhance it?" This article explained how facebook could do everything and more than one could do in person or over the phone, so why not just use it. I think that Facebook is a good way to keep in touch with old friends or events you want to know about, but people should still call and talk in person the majority of the time. Someone could have thousands of friends online on Facebook but none outside of the virtual world. It's better to experience meeting and doing things in person than it is anywhere else. "It makes you feel like you're part of something even if you're neglecting people in the flesh," says Emily Neill, a 39-year-old single mother of two. A healthy balance of the two may be a hard balance to keep, but I think it's the best way for anyone to have it, young or old. Although Facebook may seem like a dream come true, it may suck you out of the real world and imprison you with your computer.
