Facebook is it a good or bad thing


Recommended Posts

It's a good thing. It can only be a good thing. The fact that people abuse it has nothing to do with it.

 

It's like saying "the wheel is a bad invention because people steal and crash cars".

 

Fire is also a bad thing; look how many cases of arson there are every year.

 

 

Any sort of tool, be it a computer program, mechanical tool, the invention of the wheel or whatever, is neither good nor bad - merely useful. The question of good or bad applies upon the uses to which it is put - which depends on people, not on the tools.

Water is a bad thing. Look how many people in Japan have been made homeless by it!

 

Facebook is a fantastic invention. In an age where people are less and less community spirited, it has brought people together again.

Personally I Hate Facebook and would never have an account.

However one of the key revolutionaries in Egypt that dislodged Mubarak from power said afterwards that Facebook was a useful tool for those facilitating and wanting to join in creating the dictators downfall.

Still, Facebook was also one of the means by which the rioters in London communicated with one another.

Can be used for good or bad. Or in most cases for banal reasons.

.........A bit like this forum then? Which you seem to be mildly addicted to.
