Facebook has been one of the popular website in today’s world. It is addictive for all level of people from child to old. If I would say it is one of my addictive website, it won’t be any problem for other because there is possibilities it could be addictive for other as well. So yah… Facebook is where I waste my free time mostly. During my high school I used to check my Facebook once or twice before I go to the bed because I wasn’t allow opening Facebook in school during the day. Now I have new ipod, laptop and I have Wi-Fi access everywhere around the campus I started being addictive to Facebook like most of the teenagers on campus.
Facebook doesn’t only take my free time but it also updates me with many upcoming events. It’s not far from today I used to get an email if there is any sort of events but now any event can be posted in Facebook easily. Usually, I get event request in Facebook now and I think it is better and quick to do RSVP in Facebook rather than replying email. I am not a big fan of updating my status and posting things but I love to comment in people’s statuses and pictures. I like the fact that in Facebook I could see the pictures of my friends, family, relatives and everybody I miss and no matter which corner of the world they are located. I have more than 100 friends in Nepal so it would be hard for me to keep in touch with all of them if there wouldn’t be website like Facebook. One fact about my Facebook page is I have more than 200 photos that I got tag from my friends. Unfortunately I don’t tag photo that much. I think this is because I don’t download picture much in Facebook. If somebody tag me photo I always gladly accept it.
Chatting with friends is another common thing that I do in Facebook. However, I don’t prefer to chat with the same friends those who I meet everyday. Every time I go online in Facebook I always check if anybody from far is online. For example, if I have any friend from Nepal online I love to give more than an hour to them to share each other stories. This is the favorite part of Facebook for me so far. As a saying, “Practice makes man perfect,” nobody has taught me to do all of these stuffs in Facebook. This is all I learned by myself because of the fact that I have spent so much time one it. Beside Facebook I use website like webs.com, blogspot.com and amazon.com where I can do shopping without wasting much time. I had open one website, www.nycnepal.blogspot.com where I used to post some Nepali and English movies, news and any interesting things that makes me curious. Later, I recognized the viewers of this website were so damn high and I started getting lots of comments where I had minimum time to reply all of them. Approximately, I started getting like more than 10 questions, comments and suggestions everyday that makes me feel freaked out because I had to focus on my study rather than improving the quality of my website. If I would have more free time I would still keep using this website but unfortunately I chose to temporary close it.
It's true. Facebook just make our lives so much easier. Instead of replying emails, we just need people to do RSVP in Facebook. I post events for my association and I learned how much easier the tools on these webpages made us. Another thing I want to talk about is Weibo, which is one of the most popular blogs in China. What amaze me is that my mom, our older generation, is also addicted to it... orz..
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Tek, It is nice to chat with people on Facebook that you don't necessarily see everyday. I didn't really start doing this until just recently though. Most of my Facebook friends are people that I knew from high school, and I saw them everyday. Now, I don't get to see them at all, so Facebook chat is something that I'm beginning to use a lot more. And like David just said, even the older generation is becoming absorbed in this social network- my mom just recently got a Facebook and she is on it all of the time!
