FB adix
Unsa may definition nato sa “addiction”? Ang kasagarang itudlo sa tanan mao ang dependence. Ug ang kalit ug pugos nga pag-undang niini gitawag og cold turkey. Ambot kun unsay labot sa pabo. Ug ang physiological kon psychological inertia nga mahitabo tungod sa kalit nga pagundang gihinganlan og withdrawal symptom.
Dunay interesting nga definition sa “addiction” ang akong nakaila nga Americano. Alang kaniya, when you start spending tomorrow’s income today, usa ka na ka adik. Nakagusto ako ning maong definition kay malakip niini ang tanan gikan sa shabu paingon sa shopping. Nagpasabot usab kini nga ang addiction mao ang pagbaligya sa ugma.
Niadtong sikat pa ang Friendster, may nabasahan ako sa cover sa usa ka langyaw nga magazine nga nagkanayon—Friendster more addictive than crack. Pero karon nga namatay na ang Friendster, ang gaunang psychological addiction mao ang FB o Facebook.
Usa ra siguro ka linya ang gisubayan sa hobby (kalingawan), vice (gikabuangan) ug addiction. Kami sigurong mga edaran na magbisyo na lag Facebook. Dili na kami ma adik ning maong social network. Para kanako, kun mapawong nimo ang imong Facebook samtang may gipangita kang lain sa Internet, dili kapa adik sa FB. Kun di na nimo pagngon imong FB samtang nagresearch ka kon di ba hinuon di na nimo pagngun ang imong computer o di na ka mobiya sa imong computer o di ba di na ka matug, makaingon ta nga adik na ka.
Ang kasagarang maadik niani mao ang mga teens. Duna karoy usa ka dula kabahin sa addiction sa social networking sa mga teens. Facebook Me ang title niini. Gihinabi sa writer sa parenting section sa Yahoo ang mga cast niini ug mao kini ang ilang panan-aw sa ilang online nga kinabuhi.
“There’s more ‘life’ happening online than offline. If you are not online, you are completely out of the loop—you don’t have a life, you don’t really exist.” –Hannah, 13
“I’m online even during class. I’m supposed to be taking notes but instead I’m commenting on stuff and uploading pictures.” –Emma, 14
“I feel safer online than I do offline. So I do things online that I wouldn’t do in real life.” —Sadie, 14
“I’ve become very good at taking pictures of myself. I know what angle is best, I know how to part my lips… you know. It’s like the number one thing on my mind is ‘I need to get home right now and take a new profile picture.’ All because I want someone to comment on how I look.” –Katie, 15
“Social networking affects all the things you do in real life now. Like, if you go to a party, one of the most important aspects of going to the party is to document yourself for online posts. You have to prove you were looking good, you were having fun, and that you were actually there! It’s not about the party anymore but about the pictures of the party.” –Caroline, 14
“I feel sad, depressed, jealous, or whatever when I don’t get a lot of ‘Likes’ on my photo or when someone else gets way more Likes than me. Honestly, I’m not sure that parents realize how drastically it affects our self-image and confidence. If I see a picture of a really pretty girl, it’s like ‘Goodbye self-esteem.’ It forces me to compete and do stuff that I don’t want to do, so my confidence will get a boost.” –Samantha, 14
“Sometimes I feel like I’m losing control. I want my parents to tell me to get off the computer. Actually, they would need to literally take the computer away because I can’t stop myself.” –Nina, 15
“My friendships are really affected by social networking. You have to constantly validate your friends online. And everyone’s like ‘Where were you?’ ‘What have you been doing?’ ‘Why haven’t you commented on my picture yet?’ So you have to be online all the time, just to keep track, so you don’t upset anyone.” –Jasmine, 13
“There is so much pressure to look happy all the time—you can never just be yourself—because everybody is always taking pictures and posting them.” —Nikki, 13
“I really want my mom to be proud of me. Obviously, I want her to think I’m writing my essay or doing things I should be doing instead of being on Facebook. But I also want to be online. So I lie or accuse her of not trusting me. It’s awful, but I’ve become really comfortable with lying.” –Maya, 14
Sama gud sa comic books, cartoons ug games, ang online experience mo-simplify sa panan-aw sa kinabuhi mao nga madani ang mga batan-on niini. Ug tungod kay excitable sila, dali nila makalimtan ang tanan og mo-dive sila niini. As usual, parental guidance gikinahanglan. Apan moabot ra gihapon ang laay kun motukar ang ilang curiosity sa laing butang. Apan sakit man gud sa teens ang magpapansin, mao nga susceptible sila sa social networking. Kay niini murag nanamin sila sa tibuok kalibutan. Madugay, mapul-an ra na sila sa ilang hitsura.
