Does Facebook Make Someone Social  Offline?

   
   This article was written by S. Craig Watkins and H. Erin Lee. They mentioned about  the movie Social Network and gave you an example based on that movie. However, here is a question, if Facebook makes you social offline? The writers  gave us two significant reasons why Facebook is so convenient and useful. That is   young people can stay in touch with their friends and family members. Before that Dr. Watkins thought that is not too private to use Facebook, but even though is not private the amount of people is expanded. Based on the research men tend to use Facebook functionally, posting news, information and task-oriented content. On the other hand, women are more likely to demonstrate online affection, share family photos, and commiserate remotely over snapshots from girl's night out, and they also like to broadcast their relationship. 

   
    In my opinion, I will not use Facebook, because I think it's lack of privacy, so that's why I'm not using the Facebook. If we are still depends on the Facebook, our personality can be changed. Owing to the fact that it will be better to communicate face to face than chit chat on the computer. I suppose that it will be more and more better if our next generation will stop using social networking.
