most of the people now have their own account of facebook... most of them are already called addicts because they cannot get over facebook, they almost dont have enough sleep because they always face the computer and doing facebooks things.. there's chat and games. is this not bad to each one of us.. what will happen soon if this will continue. it can damage our health... what do you think?

I like facebook not because of the games or apps... I like it because it connects me to people I haven't seen in a looooong time. :) I also use my network there to promote my gigs (I play in a band) and to post stuff to market my band. :) I did play a few games, but I wouldn't say that I ever got addicted to them. I usually just go online, check on my friends, post a few updates and then log out. ...Twitter ...now that's a different story all together. :P

I used to be a facebook addict myself five months ago before I started learning about online earning opportunities. I used to spend 3-4 hours on weekdays and 4-6 hours a day on weekends! I was addicted to their application called farmville and I couldn't afford to let my crops whither! Some of my friends were actually amaze at how much time I spent to that application which for them is just a waste of time, well I realized that 5 months ago, now I only use my precious time learning and earning online and it's the best thing that ever happened since I left my job. Happy earning!

Anything in excess is dangerous. Facebook addiction or addiction to anything can turn out to be bad. This will really affect health and mind in many ways. Going through and getting addicted to such sites can really reduce ones concentration levels. There are many deaddicting institutes coming up which help lower or diminish ones addiction levels to anything mainly sites like facebook.

i really agree to what you've said.. ive never heard about that deaddicting institutes but you can motivate yourself.. its only yourself that you can control addiction to things you get addicted to..

Most of the things you wrote are very much true. I myself is really in fond of the facebook. Facebook is really different from the other social websites. It is so attractive. There are times whereby I need to force myself to forget my facebook account for awhile. I have to do that so I can break away from it for awhile.

I would call myself a Facebook addict, but not a 'hardcore' one like the one you're describing, I certainly don't check it and stay on it all night long or anything like that. I usually just check it on my phone - my phone will notify me every time I get a notification on Facebook, so I only check it then (although sometimes I do browse, too, just not very often). Any kind of unhealthy addiction is bad for your health, I believe!

Hi, I believe Facebook is like a HOT Cake in the market now. Almost everyone is having a facebook account,even some older people still playing around with facebook. For me, I do login to my facebook account everyday and I just want to see some nice pictures that my friends posted and same time I can chat with my friends. For sure, I won't stick to the facebook games. My husband is addicted to farmville and he played it everyday. I don't see the fun and it is kinda wasting my time to play online game.

well, it really depends on the person playing because before i was also addicted with farmville but there comes the time that i got bored and all so i stop.. some people also loves farmville and they will not get bored and get tired of plowing and planting..so it really depends on the person playing it..

I could say I was addicted to FB myself. How'd I get over it? I got addicted to MyLot Seriously, there are a lot of disadvantages of getting hooked on anything in the computer, especially young kids. It can damage one's health...first the eyes, and then when there's not enough sleep and sometimes they also don't eat well enough, it could really be dangerous

I have a facebook account. I would consider myself an addict to facebook. Yes I do lose sleep and/or get up early just to catch up or see what is happening in Facebook World. My relationship has suffered because of Facebook. I dont read books as much as I previously did. Other than those things it really hasnt changed my life much. I have always been a person that stays inside and never got out much. Rather Facebook is bad or not remains to be seen.

I think I call myself lucky because I don't use Facebook that much. I just go in and see if my friends updated anything. I will post or respond to some messages and log out after that. But i do agree that if we are addicted to Facebook or addicted to go online it will soon damage our health because that is when you forgot to sleep, eat, drink 8 glasses of water or hold your pee.:)
