You can strike up fresh friendships from different cultures in other countries and keep up existing relationships via Facebook.

Related to spending a long time on the website, Facebook can cause serious diseases such as joint ilnesses, eye dryness, and also obesity which may be long term effects of using Facebook. On the other side of the coin, Facebook can trigger exhibitionist tendencies. Exhibitionist people who like to make other people notice them can utilize “wall” as means. Finally, spending a lot of time on Facebook can harm people’s business and family life because of attractiveness of the online-world.
There is every apperance that Facebook can be harmful when it is used exaggeratedly and carelessly.
