IS FACEBOOK AFFECTING OUR RELATIONSHIPS?

Imagine you are sitting in a coffee shop with your friend, but she just plugs her face into smartphone and surfs facebook and doesn't listen to you. What would you do? There is no need to imagine too far because this is an image that is too common in today's modern society, when everyone can easily access Facebook as a way of daily entertainment and gradually "lost connection" with people around. The attraction of Facebook is no longer strange when this social network is now the most used worldwide with 2. 91 billion monthly active users (MAU). It also means that users are us still spending most of our time on Facebook as a hard habit to break. Not only using Facebook for entertainment, quick information updates. . . but we also use it to build relationships online quickly. However, when we are too immersed and use this social network, it makes us easy to become passive with real-life communication relationships. Since then, we - the networking participants are showing enthusiasm for the relationships there but becoming increasingly cold and indifferent to the surrounding life. Facebook is really a good connection tool and brings many benefits to society, but are we using it in the wrong way and lack of control to lead to the situation above? Maybe we should strike a balance between going online and being physically active, communicating more face-to-face with people around us. In addition, it is important to prioritize real-life relationships which will last longer than virtual relationships on Facebook. In general, Facebook is not bad, but using it in the wrong way can harm our relationships. Therefore, we should have the right awareness of social networks and use it in moderation and for the right purposes.
