Is Facebook a Drug?

This is a response to Ivan Arreola. Yay
 So many people use Facebook in different ways using as it as a tool or just using it for social skill and there also some people as a way to take advantage of others electronically and to harm others. So what is Facebook?
      Facebook is a company that makes a lot of money. It is a social networking site that billions of people around the world use. I think its awesome, but is very addicting. Facebook can also be a drug. Some people are so addicted to Facebook that they update their status every time they do something. According to CNN "therapists say they're seeing more and more people like Newton who've crossed the line from social networking to social dysfunction." Haha, addicted to Facebook, what losers. I think that to be addicted to Facebook, you would have no life. I think people who are addicted to Facebook constantly want to read what happening in other peoples lives.
      Another reason people go on Facebook is to play games. This is the biggest factor. There are lots of people who are addicted to the games on Facebook, not just Facebook itself. Millions of people go on Facebook and play games like Farmville, Mafia Wars, and tons of other games. Tony's Recommendations to cure Facebook Addiction: GO OUTSIDE,  cook, sleep, eat, go on a date, get your best friend in trouble, and a whole bunch of other things that are not Facebook related.
      Even though Facebook may be addictive, it is still a very useful tool for communication. Facebook keeps people connected and happy, if people are addicted then thats their problem. Facebook allows people to talk to each other from different countries. It helps people all the time. It lets people schedule events, talk to people, and even see people pictures. Facebook is a drug, but its a good drug, some people just overdose and abuse it sometimes. This is not even 350 words. I'm so close and I'm almost there. Ohh yea Mr.Sousa lost his keys today. It sucks cause we might not be able to use the field on Monday. Yay 362 words.

  1. Did you see Billy Lau's post about how to bust through FB addiction?

    Next time if you're short, either leave it short or come back later after you've taken a break and finish it then. Changing the subject on the last sentence is a sad way to end.
