Reading Skill

         Today I practice reading skill. I read about Facebook makes you sad. Which, A study of young adults has concluded that the more people used Facebook, the worse they subsequently felt.

        People who use Facebook may feel more connected, but less happy. A study of young adults has concluded that the more people used Facebook, the worse they subsequently felt. The researchers recruited 82 young adults who had smartphones and Facebook accounts and assessed their subjective well-being by texting them at random times five times a day for two weeks.  The scientists also found no evidence that Facebook use was merely a symptom of feeling low. People were not more likely to use Facebook when they felt bad, although they did use the social network more frequently when they were lonely. The researchers pointed out that while Facebook creates a homogenous group of "friends," most users have different types of relationships with those viewing their postings.

       I think, facebook has important for everybody but it has disadvantage too. If everybody doesn’t use it in negative way it maybe has advantage for oneself.
