Before I even read this essay, I disagreed with it just because of the title. I don't think I could ever hate Facebook. I get excited every time a red notification box pops up, or when I have a friend request. The pictures are my favorite part of Facebook. It really is a website that lets people look into your personal life and see who you are with and what you are doing.
Although, as I continued to read further down the page, I could relate to many of the things the author was talking about. For instance, she mentioned checking Facebook before even brushing her teeth. I found this to be funny because I check Facebook in the morning, afternoon, and night. I always want to know what my friends are up to and any new pictures that they have added. Even tonight, when I was supposed to be doing my homework, I found myself looking at pictures of a girl I'm not even that close with. It is a very big distractment for me. I also agree with the author when she talks about all the time she has wasted on Facebook. I probably could have been done my homework about and hour or two ago if I didn't spend much of my free time online. I even see people at the library who are on Facebook. Don't they go to the library to get away from the distractions in their room?
Overall, I don't agree with the article because I do, and probably always will love Facebook. It is a great site for people to make friends and stay connected. I would feel lost without having a Facebook account. It is a fun way to spend your free time even if it seems pointless.
