Is Facebook Taking Over Our Lives?

Guess what is the first thing I do after I wake up? It not that surprising thing but I log into my Facebook account and change my status. I write something that comes to my mind first and then publish it. I know it’s just a waste of time to be happy at when someone comments on your status or post but that’s what millions of people are doing these days.

Facebook and other similar social networking sites are taking over out lives. We don’t spend that much time in our office as we spend the time on Facebook. Status, Daily horoscope, Quiz, Tagging pictures, uploading funny videos and then commenting and re-commenting have become like a part of our daily lives. Ask who else but me. If I don’t check my Facebook in interval of certain period of time, I feel something missing and I feel restless. I am not punctual at doing my office work or getting to my college but I am punctual at doing work in Farmville and CafĂ© world. I am sure millions of people are too. I know it’s crazy but it’s somehow addictive. I rarely go out these days with friends because I have less time and lots of social games to play. Still I don’t miss a thing what is happening around me and my friends as Facebook keeps me informed about everything. So, the question is; Is Facebook taking over our lives? Yes, I will say but in a good way. There are negative aspects but every coin has two sides, doesn’t it?
