Facebook is highly informative!!

August 20, 2012 9:26am CST
Most of my friends, teachers, and many others say that the Facebook is just the waste of the precious times and it must be avoided by the students. I am totally against them because I get lot of information on Facebook . There are many informative pages available on the facebook which updates latest information, organize quizzes and has much of the stuffs related to the school topics presented in better way. But most of them are unaware of the existence of such pages and groups.. Really sad!! :(

Every coin has two sides my friend. Even a knife cannot be concluded a good or bad thing. It depends on our utilization of a thing that makes it useful or a mere time waste. I am glad that you have seen the good aspects of face book and you are using it to enhance your knowledge. The point in saying that face book is a distraction is that most of us do not see its good usage and see it only as a chatting site. Indeed face book is very informative. You have used knife for kitchen purposes but unfortunately most of them use it for killing. Good Luck Well Done.

What you are using face book for is an extremely good example of utilizing a "distraction" for self benefit. I would advise you as far as you think that you are correct, as in this case you certainly are, you should not get affected by what others are thinking. Face book ofcourse is a very good time pass for youth these days considering the easy access it brings amongst friends. Perhaps this becomes the reason they do not use or rather utilize for any other purpose.

Yes, if I would proceed with your example, what has actually happened is that people have almost forgotten that knife is meant for kitchen purposes. They just think that it is for killing reasons. Hence most of the members who see me with knife think that i am using for killing.

This is true. Even though for some facebook can be addicting and is very influential, still it has enabled easy communication to a lot of people all over the world. It can give us recent updates right away. Most of the time, if I haven't yet seen the news, it's the facebook who keeps me informed of relevant news. Sharing of important stuffs about health and business are readily available over the network.

Yes, right said.. I am much aware of the recent phenomena and facts only because of the facebook.

Hello pankajjahagirdar,I agree with you. I don't consider facebook as a wastage of time. As you said it is highly informative. Moreover it depends on our use. If someone uses facebook only for chatting with friends, may it will not contribute much for our G.K .

Right, facebook must be rarely used for chatting. We must chat only if we meet any dear person after a very long time or if you have any urgent work. Then the rest of the time must be spent on surfing over the golden pages of the facebook.

I believe that facebook has both its good sides and its bad sides. Facebook can be good because it gives a lot of information to the user and it really helps us to connect with people. But it is bad because it can be highly addicting and it promotes vanity to most. Another down side of facebook is that it gives people little or no privacy. happy mylotting and welcome to mylot.

I use to think that Facebook is just a waste of time. That is why, I use Facebook only lately simply because of that thinking. But later on I realize that facebook indeed has many uses and it is very useful for many peoples. It is also very informative and for those having a business, it is a great tool for promotion. Now, I log in to Facebook everyday and check unit my account. However, it all depends on how you use the site. If you just use it simply for posting unimportant things, it's might be fun but not that useful.

You are right some events pages also there like I read the news here I not remember about the topic but I know facebook is informative and useful also. If we have some good idea of working in facebook then we can do everything here collect news, earn money, maintain friendship.

If you are benefiting from facebook then it is good for you then. But for me I have no gains from facebook to tell you the truth. I just communicate with my family and friends there. But to my husband it is good. He had made a group and he has 9000 members and now he had registered the group in society's act and built a trust. I am happy for him because he is the sole founder of the trust. So to some people it is good and some not. It depends from person to person. You going totally against those who say that facebook has no gains is wrong. Not all are gaining from facebook. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Yeah there are some informative pages on FB,but it was started only for the purpose of communicating with friends and family and not education.So most people use it for that purpose only and their is no harm in it.But it should not be used in excess or it will harm you only.

At first I really thought that this was wasting my time in spending in facebook that in every 24hours in a person could spend with it atleast 2hrs -1hr in their life to check their account and play with those applications but otherwise its good tool for communication and spreading information were many people can share their good products even their currently problem in the society. And aware what are the happenings around the cities.
