People, of all ages and from all walks of life are simply hooked to it.<br /><br />Back then, if you want to escape reality you get high, nowadays all it takes is for you to LOG ON.<br /><br />The effects of facebook on kids are undoubtedly devastating, both in terms of mental progress and psychological development. Facebook deviates children from their natural learning process and slowly turn them into cyberspace zombies, severely limiting their ability in the areas of logical deduction and impairing their intellectual faculty.<br /><br />A typical facebook 'communication';<br /><br />Selampit: Do you know that XXX, the new actress is such a slut?<br /><br />Lina: OMG! She is?<br /><br />Rose: IMO she' not, n FYI she's soooo hot!<br /><br />Jerry: Srsly, I hear she likes to eat ABC.<br /><br />Honestly, I have no trouble<br />digesting the contents of academic journals, but whenever I attempt reading an ongoing facebook 'chit chat', my mind goes numb.<br /><br />Facebook originally appeared in Ivy League campuses (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Brown) across US as a tool of communication among America's creme de la creme.<br /><br />Now there are approximately 7.5 million children under thirteen who are hooked to it. Although this constitutes a violation of the site's own term, Zuckerberg apparently is too busy pimping facebook to give a damn.<br /><br />Therefore I believe, it is up to us PARENTS to give a damn. Remember when our teenage children were still toddlers, how we made a super effort to keep them safe? <br /><br />Well we still need TO KEEP THEM SAFE now.<br /><br />Keep your children away from facebook.selampithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10562491157384273237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-38599583940048671092011-06-03T14:14:06.229+08:002011-06-03T14:14:06.229+08:00You are right.

And it has become the culture of a certain society -it's the in thing to be on fb !Every member of the family is on fb. Pictures after pictures of themselves and family are constantly updated. Cool.....<br /><br />The question is how far these impressional lots be allowed to go unsupervised ? So exposed to the uncensored world and happily projecting themselves sometimes with 'untruthful' personal details. Soon, it will become way of life that they grow up with a set of fb values unable to differentiate right from wrong and truth from lies.<br /><br />Parents and teachers are the most likely control mechanism and I pray to God that it will function.Yellowrabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05278568174560898986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38530403.post-79235059372078286652011-06-02T08:43:26.219+08:002011-06-02T08:43:26.219+08:00How to regulate when the age can be manipulate?

And what not to do, where not to go...<br /><br />Likewise - Facebook, Tumbler, Twitter.<br /><br />I held the computer for the first time when I was 18. Mum today surfs expertly in her 60s.But the world is way different for kids today who grow up with Ipads and Blackberries in hand. <br /><br />Let us not handicap them.ninotazizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491437553562159354noreply@blogger.com
