Why We Choose This Topic?


Assalamualaikum..I am Lin..here we meet again in discussing about the topic that we choose for the blog. As you can seen, our blog title is The Effects of Facebook On Teenagers. Why we choose this topic, this is because today facebook became a new phenomenon to all of us. I’m sure all of you here have a facebook account. As a human being, we can’t live without interact to one another. So we normally prefer to follow and accept the new technology in our life. Because we will feel left out of what happening around us if did not follow the ‘trend’.
Our group focus is on teenagers as we know teenagers is label as a person that like to try something that new for them. They don’t actually realize that sometimes the new things not always give advantages but also have a disadvantages. Certain people had label facebook as a not a technology but it’s a something that wasting time. So for me, whether facebook is good or bad it is depending on individual needs.
It can be good when we use it in a right way such as use it as gathering information or keep updating with class notification. But it reach to the level ‘bad’ or out of control if the facebook has controlling our lives such as we feel empty and life is not meaningful without using facebook for a day. Whatever it is, people especially teenagers should have a media literacy so that they don’t spoil their daily routine just because of facebook addiction.

So friends, what is your opinion? 

Little Notes For Being A Biuss Student


Assalamualaikum and good day to everyone..My name is Lin..I am glad for having this opportunity to write on some thought, opinion and comment about everything that I had learned in our Biuss class. First I would like to thanks to Madam Noraza for teaching me in this semester. All the advices is so mean to me and will be used now and in the future.
            Well, as a four in group I understand the important of being responsible as a group members.  The teamwork concept will not achieve if one of us did not play their role as good as possible. This is because each person needs to depend on other s members skills so that certain job will be easier and more quality. When we finishing our Digital Story Telling (DST), there are lots of challengers we need to face such as clashing of schedule in meeting each other, lack of ideas and so on. The main challenge for us is the problem in using English as spoken language. As we know, we are here to improve the skill of English communication so what we should do is always speak in English so that our confident level will increase. Like the word “practice makes perfect”.  For me don’t be too shy and feeling inferior when talking to others. So from now onwards, I promise myself to always give the best for my own sake. 

Facebook Addiction


Facebook rises to the level of “addiction” when other things are out of balance: grades suffer, no offline friendships, little to no activity away from the computer. When someone is consumed with the world of Facebook, other relationships can suffer greatly.

Teenagers see Facebook as a part of their life and they think life is not complete without Facebook in a day. People especially parent must help teenagers know and understand the Internet. It’s not just social media.

Teaching them and giving them a greater understanding of the how’s and why’s will prepare them for life with technology outside the home. It’s not going away, so we need to give them to use it properly.

Hey Guys..Share Your Thought Here..

I'm sure after all of you have your own meaning about Facebook. Because we are different that each of us is special. So my friends, please share your thoughts here...:)

Disadvantages of Facebook



Facebook have many disadvantages on teenagers than advantages. Why I say that? Because  as we known most of the teenagers don’t realize the negative impact of Fb on their life. And, the main reason is because they are already addicted to it. And, this addiction can lead to several negative developments.
The first disadvantage effect of fb is that a teenagers user starts loosing interest in his or her surroundings. They would be addicted to Fb  and the only thing they would be concerned about will be their “own” world, which is inside Fb.

The second disadvantage effect is that the real-world social interaction will start diminishing. There is no doubt that they are going to have hundreds of friends on  Fb , but with how many of them would teenagers be interacting out in the real world. As a human being, they are a social creature and  naturally require real-world social interaction. When they are going to spend maximum of their time on the Internet, teenagers are going to decrease their  communication and social skills.

Another negative impact will be on their health. There is a very high chance that excessive use of  Fb  leads to the users becoming obese. They would be sitting most of the time in front of the computer, eating snacks and without any physical activities. And, over a period of time teenagers are going to accumulate all the extra pounds.


So guys, do you think facebook give us bad impact?






History of Facebook



Mark Zuckerberg wrote Facemash, the predecessor to Facebook, on October 28, 2003, while attending Harvard as a sophomore. According to The Harvard Crimson, the site was comparable to Hot or Not, and "used photos compiled from the online facebooks of nine houses, placing two next to each other at a time and asking users to choose the 'hotter' person".

Mark Zuckerberg co-created Facebook in his Harvard dorm room.To accomplish this, Zuckerberg hacked into the protected areas of Harvard's computer network and copied the houses private dormitory ID images. Harvard at that time did not have a student "facebook" (a directory with photos and basic information), though individual houses had been issuing their own paper facebooks since the mid-1980s. Facemash attracted 450 visitors and 22,000 photo-views in its first four hours online.

The site was quickly forwarded to several campus group list-servers, but was shut down a few days later by the Harvard administration. Zuckerberg was charged by the administration with breach of security, violating copyrights, and violating individual privacy, and faced expulsion. Ultimately, the charges were dropped. Zuckerberg expanded on this initial project that semester by creating a social study tool ahead of an art history final, by uploading 500 Augustan images to a website, with one image per page along with a comment section. He opened the site up to his classmates, and people started sharing their notes.

The following semester, Zuckerberg began writing code for a new website in January 2004. He was inspired, he said, by an editorial in The Harvard Crimson about the Facemash incident. On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched "The facebook", originally located at the facebook.com.

The Advantages of Facebook...


Facebook is social software. Which is the reason why Facebook are appealing to adolescence and university students. These students all the time correspond or communicate explicitly concerning their lives, estimation or opinion, interests, and academics. Though the majority of us working with adults are awkward sharing ideas or information in open surroundings, the social feature of Facebook creates fun and its rapidity of learning knowledge.

Beside that, facebook provides us the chance to choose what you desire to share, and what you don’t need to impart, and what you desire to impart with chosen associates. The building of Facebook appears over time. Users can make groups and conversation or discussion topics. This assemblage or group can cultivate, or be gone alone to pass away, depending on the users and their involvement.

From the young people and university students’ perspectives not utilizing Facebook are “social responsibility or liability”. A few professionals not possess an online presence or attendance can be career liability. Facebook also a one-stop shop or supermarket for imparting blogging, media, calendaring, communicating, sharing ideas or information and others. Facebook can provide “Cooperative Extension” abilities or capabilities to work together and construct our networks in a single place by giving one place without difficulty, imparting ideas or information and discuss subject or topics of interest.

So, my friends out there..do you think fb is good for you?

How To Control Facebook Addiction Among Teenagers


Tips For Parent in Keeping Children’s Facebook usage under control:


  • How to determine if something is excessive: Ask yourself a series of questions: Do your children still have offline friends? Are they still involved in after-school activities and sports?
  • Keep an eye on what your teens are posting on Facebook and how often they're posting it. If you see that they're changing their status every half hour and during school hours, something's wrong.
·    Measure your children's activities against those of their friends. If they are much more active on Facebook than their friends are, take note of that. If you believe your teens are at risk, you can use monitoring software that will automatically record what they're posting and when they're posting it. One monitoring site is Spectorsoft.com

·    Make use of parental control software products that allow you to control how much time your teen spends online from their computers. McAfee.com, Symantec.com and Safeeyes.com are a few of the many sites that offer such software.

·    Recognize that your teen can log into Facebook from his or her X-Box, cellphone or from most mobile gaming devices. According to Facebook, more than 65 million active users of the Web site sign on to the social networking site through their mobile devices. That means your teen doesn't have to be sitting in front of his or her laptop or desktop computer to go online.

·    Trust your gut. If something seems wrong, examine all aspects of your children's life, including their computer and social networking use.
