Impact of new technologies on our lives .

This is a drawing of two animals , one is a rabbit the other one is a dog , they are walking down the street chatting about Facebook .The rabbit says that Facebook is stopping us from having meaningful communication, the dog agrees saying "LIKE" which is funny because that's how people can say they liked a post you posted on Facebook.
I personally believe that this drawing is really representative of the life ,we teenagers live today ,we don't even call someone on their mobile phones instead we just write a message on Facebook.
Facebook has become so popular today that they are the leading words on the lips of every teenager , but there are several negative effects of this social networking site.
The first negative effect of  Facebook is that a teenage user starts losing interest in his or her surroundings .
The second negative effect is that your real-world social interaction will start diminishing , it also reduces your study time .
Teenagers and young adults get glued to their Facebook account,their day begins and ends with Facebook.When you are spending most of your time playing games or chatting, you find less ad less time to meet up with real friends .You start having a complete lack of interest in society.You become so self-indulged and engrossed in the real world of Facebook you have no time for outing or reading newspapers.

Facebook can also be dangerous for young teenagers , Facebook can collect information about you and your family/friends/coworkers ... social networks give you a false sense of privacy and a feeling of anonymity that can make you vulnerable.Facebook also has a location-based application that allows you to "check in" at your current location, which can put yourself and your family in danger .

But it also has positive sides ,these social networks have helped us keep in touch with friends and to get to know other students at our school better or connect with those who share a common interest.It helps some teenagers to overcome their shyness and develop their self-identity.
Facebook is also a place to express your feelings through Posts or videos .

To conclude i think Facebook has really changed our lives and had a big impact on society.It's  great to keep in touch with your friends but it can be dangerous for young teenagers and it can have a negative effect if you use it too much.

First post

Hey guys this is my first post , i didn't really know what to write about but finally came to the conclusion to make a  review of one of my favorite movies : Shutter Island .


The movie takes place  in 1954 . Veteran and current federal marshal Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his new partner, Chuck (Mark Ruffalo), ferry to Shutter Island, a mental hospital housing the criminally insane. They have been asked to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando (Emily Mortimer), a patient admitted to the asylum after she murdered her three children. As Teddy quizzes Dr. Cawley (Ben Kingsley), the head of the institution, he begins to suspect that the authorities in charge might not be giving him the whole truth .Teddy has a secret of his own -- the arsonist who murdered his wife is incarcerated on Shutter Island. Driven to confront his wife's killer, and stranded on the island because of a hurricane, Teddy must unravel the secrets of the eerie place before succumbing to his own madness.
