The listening task in OC class yesterday was about Mari trying to use technology to stay in touch with her family. Of course one of the most popular ways of doing so these days is Facebook.
I have read that more than half of U.S. teenagers use social media sites (e.g. Facebook) daily- 22% visit them at least 10 times a day. Such sites are playing a significant role in children's social and emotional development. Researchers say that some children are suffering from "Facebook depression", or depression related to cyberbullying, sexting, and so on.
Actually, I don't use Facebook. I'm not interested in it because I don't need "friends" that I don't know or never meet. I prefer to keep in touch one to one. What do you think of Facebook?
Do you keep in touch with friends from elementary school (or others)? Who is your best friend? What do you like about them especially?
