Do you spend too much time on facebook?

That is the question that many should ask themselves. As for myself, I think I use too much time on Facebook.

What is Facebook? Facebook is a webpage where you can have contact with your friends, share pictures and chat with your friends. You follow your friends and see the stuff they publish. Some use Facebook like a daily diary while some doesn´t share anything at all. But in general I think most of the people read updates from friends on a daily basis and publish a staus message or a picture several times a week.

The birth to Facebook was in 2004, then just ment to be for the Harvard students. The creator Mark Zuckerberg and his friends reconized that this consepts was popular. After some time it was 6000 members, but as today it has grown to incredible 500 million members.

I remember I joined Facebook in 2007 and from that day I have regurlary visited the site almost every day.

Today we see a lot of publications about teenagers, and people in all ages, spending too much time on Facebook. A lot of people spend many hours every day on Facebook. We are scared to fall out of the group of friends, if we don`t use Facebook. That is at least what they/we belive, but I don`t think that`s absolutely correct. 

For the first time girls top the list of which gender using the most time on Facebook. Boys have always been the gender who spends most time on technology and computer games. I think girls use Facebook in a different way than the guys. Girls chat and comment more pictures, sneak peek on other girls and boys. For the first time, girls are on the top of using some tecnologi. 


"… many teenagers, especially girls, are recognizing the huge distraction Facebook presents — the hours it consumes every day, to say nothing of the toll it takes during finals and college applications, according to parents, teachers and the students themselves"
(New York Times, Do yoy spend to much time on Facebook?"

I think it`s time to get back our time, turn of the computer and telephone. Meet our friends over a cup of coffee and talk to them face to face, not on Facebook.
