Harms of Facebook for Human

Harms of Facebook for Human ! Interesting how so many people across the world use Facebook. When Facebook was founded in 2004, it began with a seemingly innocuous mission to connect friends. Some seven years and 800 million users later, the social network has taken over most aspects of our personal and professional lives, and is fast becoming the dominant communication platform of the future. I wonder how much we can disclose our identity on social networking sites without risking ourselves to identity theft or other potential harms. We share our personal information such as interest, hobby, like, mail id, image, video,location etc. But is it secure? Let’s go to day we will know about several Harms of Facebook



More than 150million use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, share photographs and videos and post regular updates of their movements and thoughts. But while the sites are popular - and extremely profitable - a growing number of psychologists and neuroscientists believe they may be doing more harm than good.

Sleeping problems, anxiety and depression:
Larry Rosen, a California psychologist who has been studying the effects of technology on people for more than two decades, said that teens, who use technologies, like video games and the internet, were more likely to have stomach aches, sleeping problems, anxiety and depression.

Facebook harms your health:
People’s health could be harmed by social networking sites specially harm of facebook because they reduce levels of face-to-face contact, an expert claims. Dr Aric Sigman says websites such as Facebook set out to enrich social lives, but end up keeping people apart. Dr Sigman makes his warning in Biologist, the journal of the Institute of Biology. A lack of “real” social networking, involving personal interaction, may have biological effects.

Harms of Facebook for Children:
According to a published report in the Journal of Pediatrics “Clinical Report-The Impact of Social Media on Children, Adolescents, and Families” there is a growing concern about a new phenomena called “Facebook depression.” Facebook depression is defined by these professionals as “depression that develops when preteens and teens spend a great deal of time on social media sites, such as Facebook, and then begin to exhibit classic signs of depression.”

Pornography Harms men and women which is available in Facebook: Thirty percent of women are addicted to it. Sixty-seven percent of men say they look at it at least once a month. When a people watch this pornography video or image than they will loss morality and meet with unsocial activities.

I found that using facebook should be used at your own risk. While in today’s world social media rules, there are still a wide variety of ways to stay in touch with friends and family. I have numbers of friends who don’t use facebook, and we hang out just as much as my friends who have facebook. I find that facebook is a nice way to post ideas and thoughts, but does not replace physical interaction. Social Network is very useful way to get communication with each other but sometimes it may be harmful for the humanity, if we conscious about it and we won’t miss use it than will save our world from the Harms of Facebook.
