facebook disadvantage

 FACEBOOK
Social networking websites seem to be the way the people communicate on the internet today. One of the biggest social networking sites is FaceBook. It has a lot of great advantages but it also has great disadvantages. You have to be careful about what you do on FaceBook so that you don't fall into some traps that could cost you dearly.

Here are the disadvantages of FaceBook:

Hard to Manage

FaceBook can be extremely hard to manage at times. It doesn't allow you to delete some things that you wish to delete and it can be extremely difficult to navigate. The inability to delete information can cause issues if you post something that you later regret posting. Be very careful about posting your status updates. Though you can delete them, there are times that you won't be able to delete them when you want to and it remains there forever.

Confusing

The way that FaceBook is setup is a bit confusing at times. Too many things can be posted to your wall and all of your friends activities show up in the newsfeed. It doesn't matter what they do. It can get quite confusing and jumbled. You may not want to see it all, but there it is. Once you figure out how it all works it isn't as bad because you know what to skip over and what to look at.

Privacy

It is a little confusing about how to set the privacies on your FaceBook page. You have to go in and out of several sections in order to make your profile private or public in different areas. You may think you have your information on private, it may not be completely private. This is a good thing because you can control which sections you want to make private. You have to be extremely careful if you want the page to be completely private though.

Virus Problems

Unfortunately, you can easily get a virus while visiting FaceBook. FaceBook accounts are apparently easy to hack. That means that anyone who goes onto FaceBook is susceptible to getting a virus. You can also end up opening a file that you think is safe because your friend sent it. Many links are tricks that can wreak havoc on your computer. You have to be very careful about what files you open on FaceBook or you could end up paying a lot of money to get the computer fixed.

These are the biggest disadvantages of using FaceBook. If you are careful about what you do on FaceBook and once you get used to the site, you should be okay. The only other thing that you have to worry about is your privacy issues. That can be a huge deal depending on the reasons that you want to keep the profile private. It's a matter of paying attention to what you do on FaceBook

Why People Smoke

Most people start smoking when they are in their teens and are addicted by the time they reach adulthood. Some have tried to quit but have returned to cigarettes because smoking is such a strong addiction. It is a habit that is very difficult to break. There are many different reasons why people smoke.

Three of the main reasons that young people smoke are to look mature, to be like their friends, and to experiment. Since teens see older people all around them smoking, especially their parents and relatives, they smoke to act older. If their friends or peers smoke, they may feel pressured into doing the same to be accepted. The last reason is the excitement of experimenting with something that is forbidden. In Massachusetts it is against the law for anyone under 18 years old to smoke. Usually parents do not allow their under age teens to smoke. Therefore, smoking becomes very attractive. It is exciting to get cigarettes and sneak away to smoke without being caught.

Adults smoke for other reasons. They may have a lot of stress and pressures because of economic and personal problems. They may be unemployed or working but not making enough money to take care of themselves and their families. They may be homeless, or they may be dealing with alcohol or cocaine/heroin addictions. Some may be in bad marriages or relationships in which there is physical and/or verbal abuse. All these people may smoke to feel relaxed or to give them energy while going through a hard time.

Whether young or old, some people smoke to control their weight. Smokers, on the average, weigh seven pounds less than non-smokers. Smoking reduces a person's appetite. It lessens his/her sense of taste and smell. This could be why ex-smokers gain weight after quitting cigarettes. Food tastes and smells so much better.

Finally, there are people who say they love to smoke. Smoking gives them pleasure. It just makes them feel good.
