Facebook is one of the most popular networking tools which many people around the globe from all walks of life use.
In Facebook, there are many applications. There are games, there are quizzes, and there applications which allows people to socialise.
In the Facebook games, people are able to see their friends' game progress in the game, and can also send messages to their friends through the game and also send "Gifts".
There are applications like "Social Interview" where people are asked random questions about their friends, and the answers would be posted on the "walls" of their friend.
There is much more about Facebook, and teachers are even using Facebook to teach.(E.g. Setting up a Facebook group and post instructions for his students there)
Facebook might sound like a really nice networking site. But, this is where the problem is. Facebook is addictive. Many teenagers have over 600 Facebook friends, and therefore, when one of them posts something on Facebook, that person gets many notifications that his or her friends have commented on his or her statuses or posts, and the teenager cannot resist the urge to check what his or her friend said and reply to them. And very often, the teenager has problems logging out from Facebook because the teen receives notifications continuously.
In the end, what is most important is... CONTROL
