Social Networking- Facebook

Between all the social networks that have been made over time, the most popular right now seem to be Facebook and Twitter. I personally, have a Facebook, which I use to keep up with friends and to get in touch with family and friends that I don't get to see that much or even get to talk to a lot. I also use it to keep in touch with classmates who have moved of and it is the only way to get a hold of them.
The only time I ever use it, is either when I have to be on the computer at home, when I'm in class, or I'm bored in between classes and I play around on it on my phone.
 I think the whole social networking thing can be a good and a bad thing. It can be used for good for some people because it helps them to get in touch with classmates, friends and family who they haven't seen or talked to in years. It can be a bad thing for others because some will sit behind a computer screen all day and stay on some social networking site, looking at everybody else's profiles all day. Some use Facebook just to stir up drama and to see how much attention they can get. I think Facebook could help it friendships because if a friend or family member has moved away and that was the only way you could get in contact with them, could turn into meeting somewhere one day and having lunch and catching up with one another. I might also hurt them because instead of going and hanging out with friends and family, some will sit behind the screen. Overall I think Facebook is a good think to keep in contact with people but could also be a bad thing if it gets to addicting.
