Facebook’s Influence on Me

I knew the facebook through my oral English teacher who is American when I was in China. He invited me to become his on-line friend on Facebook. The first time I heard its name, I guessed it was another networking social like I had some already. My guess got proved. It is a networking social, like my “on campus” which is famous in China.
I wasn’t addicted on facebook initially.I even didn’t check my account once a week. Because not many Chinese people know facebook, all we are using is “on campus”. I did log in my “on campus” a lot, about three to four times everyday. Facebook couldn’t get my interest at all. Things changed when I got America. I found my new American friends always asked my facebook’s account, so they can keep in touch me on facebook. With I add a lot more friends there, the times I login facebook increased to four to five times everyday. I always want to check if some new friends I just met for real try to add me on facebook. Every time when I sit before my laptop,I wouldn’t check my school mailbox first. Instead I check my facebook first. It obviously becomes my daily habit. Even the last thing right before I turn off my laptop also is to check my facebook.I text message to my old or new friends. They reply my message. It is really simply to contact any people on my friends list on facebook. We all enjoy this way. I do spend a lot time there, looking at pictures, new friends’ profiles, and diaries. Even I have a lot homework to do, I still login facebook to see what’s new today. So facebook waste my time even though I don’t want that happen.
Another side, facebook helped me a lot because its social property. I sold my
seond-handed books to my schoolmate there. They saw my list on marketplace on facebook. And my roommate now contacted me through facebook. I put on my list-looking for roommates. She would like me to be her roommate, so she sent a message to me on facebook. We are going along so well as roommates. Facebook do help me a lot. I am sure I will ask for help from it more in the future.
Any new technology invention must bring good point to human beings, at the same time. There must be bad side .For me,face book bring me many new friends,let me get what I want. But it also waste my time which am supposed to be made use of on study. But nobody can help me only I can help myself.Try to make facebook help me more not giving me bad influence.
