Argumentation

6.RN.4.1- Trace & Evaluate Arguments

 Among the 350 million users on Facebook, 67% of them are between the ages of 13 -25. More than 35 million users update their status every day and 2.5 billion photos are added each month. The highest age groups who use Facebook are teenagers.  Facebook is changing the new generation of youngsters completely because the teenage life is one of the most important stages of life and wasting it on Facebook is not encouraging this in anyway. It is also a complete distraction to their mind; like nowadays when all their homework and research are online, they would get distracted by Facebook and check if there was anything updated among their friends. 

Facebook is also where people can see the gossip among their friends, virtual arguments, relationship status and updates, who is in whose ‘top friends’.  You can become a fan of anything, join groups, post pictures and videos, play juvenile games, invite friends to parties or events and a heap more. Mainly, all this would just disturb people into living life to their fullest. It’s not just teens who become addicted even grownups do. An average person spends about 55 minutes on Facebook. This statistic isn’t that bad but some people spend about 3-5 hours. Technology might be taking over people’s lives. The internet is what the youth does almost all the time and other growing social networking sites such as Twitter might become the next Facebook.
