ABOUT THE PROJECT TOPIC

Facebook is a social site which startedworking on February 4, 2004 by its young
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Facebook.svg

producer Mark Zuckerberg. He designedFacebook in his room at US HarvardUniversity and started it as a social websitefor Harvard students. But very soon his site

was taken into consideration outside theuniversity and it became so popular that bythe end of the second week of its operation,over half of Harvard students registered inFacebook and used it as a way of contactingwith each other; and in a short period,millions of people became Facebook membersand founded a broad and influential network.

Although this social network paves the wayfor finding new friends or communicating withold friends, it is a site for exchanging viewsand ideas among the youths. The capabilitythat a youth can communicate with otheryouths in different countries has turned thesocial networks including Facebook into a sitefor introducing and discussing new ideas.

Actually with the spread of social networks,relations have become closer and wider thanthe past to the extent that the social siteshave turned into an inseparable part of ourlife and its positive and negative impactsaffect our life.

Some experts believe that with the help of

these sites, relations have entered a new

phase and people can become aware of each

other better and more quickly. But on the


9/53

other hand, some other experts are of the

opinion that the social sites, especially

Facebook have created many problems.

1.2 Effects of Facebook onTeenagers

Most of the teenagers dont realize thenegative impact ofFacebook on their life.And, the main reason is because they arealready addicted to it. And, this addiction canlead to several negative developments. Youwill find 7 negative effects of this socialnetworking site that should encourage you to

start avoiding it.

The first negative effect ofFacebook is that ateenage user starts losing interest in his orher surroundings. You would be addicted to

Facebook and the only thing you would beconcerned about will be your own world,which is inside Facebook.

The second negative effect is that your real-world social interaction will start diminishing.

There is no doubt that you are going to havehundreds offriends on Facebook, but withhow many of them would you be interactingout in the real world. As a human being, youare a social creature and you naturally requirereal-world social interaction. When you are

going to spend maximum of your time on theInternet, you are going to decrease yourcommunication and social skills.

Another negative impact will be on yourhealth. There is a very high chance thatexcessive use ofFacebook leads to the usersbecoming obese. You would be sitting most ofthe time in front of the computer, eating

snacks and without any physical activities.And, over a period of time you are going toaccumulate all the extra pounds.

Facebook is also going to minimize your studytime. Rather than spending your time onFacebook, you would better start browsingsome educational sites that relate to your

school course.

For Facebook users, family doesnt come first,but Facebook does. For them their online

friends are more important than their familymembers.

The sixth negative effect ofFacebook is that

your personal data becomes public on thissocial site, threatening your privacy. This isnot reasonable, unless you want to becontacted by hundreds of people that dontknow you.

The seventh negative effect ofFacebook isthat it increases the chances of onlineconflict. Facebook is populated with immatureindividuals who create bizarre statuses,upload awkward images and carry out absurdactions. And, this can lead to conflictsbetween people.

Limitation

s


41/53

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

The study is to be limited in Jalandhar

city only because of limited time and

financial resources. So results of the

study may not be generalized forIndia as a whole.

The sample size is limited to 100

respondents, so complete knowledge

about subject is not possible.

Another factor could be the existence

of biasness in the respondents mind.

Many times these biasness have

greater bearing on the responses put

forward by respondents.

Human weaknesses such as in

attentiveness cannot be ignored.


42/53

Indifferent attitude : different people

have different attitude towards

different things. Biased information : some

respondents give biased information

as they do not wants to mention their

names.

44/53

CONCLUSION:-

Social networking sites, most notably

Facebook have become so popular today that

they are the leading words on the lips of

every teenager. Facebook has more than 750million users today. You love to spend most of

your time checking your Facebook updates,

but do you know that there are many

negative effects of using Facebook. Most of

the teenagers dont realize the negative

impact of Facebook on their life. And, the

main reason is because they are already

addicted to it. And, this addiction can lead to

several negative developments.
