Response to "Facebook: Why I Hate It.."

After reading Facebook: Why I Hate It, I actually find it quite comical and sad how much I can relate to the article. Everything that Sarah wrote in this article is true for so many young Americans today. Facebook has definitely become somewhat of an addiction within the last few years. In the article when Sarah says the first thing she does in the morning is check her Facebook, I immediately related. I sometimes find myself sitting at my desk for hours on end trying to motivate myself to do some homework or studying, but instead I somehow make my way towards Facebook. I check my friend's statuses and their photos on a daily basis. As much as Facebook distracts me from my work at times, I have to admit there is a huge part of me that really appreciates Facebook. It helps me to stay connected with my family who mostly live in New York City. It also helps me to stay connected with friends from high school who decided to go to school somewhere far away in the country or just friends I don't get to talk to very often. It does distract me a lot during my time at school, ironically, it is distracting me as I type this. But, as much as I complain about all the distractions and other things about Facebook that drive me crazy, I do have to admit I enjoy Facebook very much and how it keeps me connected with almost everyone I know.
