A man, Andrew McDonald, bit off another man's ear and spit them onto the pavement. They were fighting because of Facebook messages. But Facebook also contributed to Egypt's revolution. Here are some Pro's and Con's of Facebook.
Pro's of Facebook
- easy communication
- educational purposes
Facebook could be used for kids who have missed school and they would be able to check homework or class assignments. It also could be used for communicating with students or teachers about classroom material, for example, projects. Video's of labs or class discussions could be video taped and shared. Class notes could be written in notes which students could look at or be tagged in. Pictures or video comments could be graded or count as homework.
- find old friends and reconnect with them
- promote yourself for businesses
Con's of Facebook
Many teenage suicides are caused by online bullying.
The average time spent on facebook is 7 hours a month. For teenagers, I personally believe it is a lot more.
While people are on Facebook, most of the time they are sitting down. If your sitting down you're not exercising.
- inappropriate or unwanted pictures, videos etc.
- personal information shared with people you may not know
