Paragraph 1

Facebook started when a Harvard University student named Mark Zuckerberg opened Facemash on October 28, 2003. This
website was a type of “hot or not” game which allowed to compare photos of two students side-by-side and allowed users to choose
which is hot or not. That time, the site was exclusive for Harvard students. In January 2004, Zuckerberg began to write codes for a new
website known as “the Facebook.” On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched The Facebook.com and expanded to other universities by
March 2004. In summer of 2004, Facebook was incorporated. By the end of 2005, Facebook expanded to universities in the UK, Australia,
and New Zealand. And now, it has 1.35 billion active users.

 Paragraph 2

Though Facebook is just one of many social networking sites, it has unique features that make it more addictive. For example,
compared to Twitter, Facebook requires you to be a friend of another user before you can follow him/her. Facebook also has fan pages for
celebrities – a feature which Twitter does not have. Finally, Facebook has filters. For example, Edgerank automatically monitors your
activity and filters that content posted by your friends which might not be your interest. Nevertheless, both Twitter and Facebook allow
real-time interactions and reconnection with friends.

 Paragraph 3

The causes of Facebook addictions are both internally and externally induced. According to Dr. Brent Conrad, Facebook fulfills our
social needs in the digital world. Another feature of Facebook that includes addiction is that it quantifies friends. Facebook will tell you
how many “friends” you already have in a specific period. One may think that the more friends you have, the more popular you are.
Facebook also has combined features of gaming and socializing. These games tend to focus on online social interactions. Finally, Facebook
is a boredom buster. If you have nothing to do, Facebook allows you to check other people’s status, to chat with friends, to post your
favorite quotes and lines.

Paragraph 4

Post-Task 1 | Module 1: Reading, Writing and Thinking Strategies across Texts R&W
 According to CNN, the first sign that you are already addicted to Facebook is if you become an insomniac for using it. If you see
that you are staying up late at night more and more just to check Facebook, start thinking about using it. Another symptom of Facebook
addiction is if you use it more than an hour per day. You can use some applications to track this. Third, you become obsessed with
“friending” your ex-boyfriend and girlfriend. Ignoring your work is another symptom of Facebook addiction. Instead of writing your
reports and proposals, you tend to sneak time on Facebook. Worse, if you do this during working hours. The last but not the least
symptom of addiction is if leaving Facebook causes you so much stress and anxiety.

 Paragraph 5

To treat this kind of addiction, Dr. Conrad suggests that the first thing you should do is to admit that you are addicted to Facebook
and that you need to address it. Then, keep track of how much time you spent on Facebook. As noted earlier, more than an hour a day is
not a good sign. You can use Facebook applications that control your usage such as self-control application. If you cannot help but use
Facebook, limit the number of feeds and updates you receive and purge your Facebook friends if there are too many already. Remember,
quality is better than quantity. Finally, turn off Facebook notifications in your email. Receiving email notifications will tempt you more to
log in to your Facebook account.
