Survey Findings
Survey FindingsSome solutions on curbing Facebook addiction (as provided by surveyed)
Encourage people to create more events for meeting up with family and friends so that there can be more face-to-face interaction
Create an application that lets you set a time limit for accessing Facebook so that once time is up, you will automatically log out
Self-discipline and time management
Interview findingsAccording to Ms Jaime, the school counsellor,
age might influence how users use Facebook and the way users think of Facebook
For example, the younger generation might create a Facebook account just because they want to fit in with others
The older generation, who did not have Facebook in their time, feel curious about what it is and therefore want to create a Facebook account
Interview findingsMs Jaime, who belongs to the older
generation, feels that Facebook has both positive and negative impacts on her
Positive: she was able to find her old friends on Facebook
Negative: sometimes she spends hr time on Facebook doing useless things, thus she wasted a lot of time
Also, she felt tired after that and thus did not want to do any work
ConclusionA user’s level of education does not affect the
number of hours he or she spends on Facebook
Spending a lot of time on Facebook does not necessarily mean addiction to Facebook
When you think of Facebook when you are offline, this affects the physical interaction with friends or family
ConclusionYou can use Facebook and have enough time
for other activities at the same time, as long as you manage your time wisely
Facebook might not necessarily affect your social life negatively, it can affect it positively too, as long as you use it in the right way
