“With friends like these” Hodgkinson criticizes facebook.The author talks about the disadvantages of facebook. How it disconnects people. Facebook is like we have a second life with our profile, pictues, relationship status. Hodgkinson critizes the privacy of people as well. Its true that we don’t have any privacy these days. Its not only facebook but its even with our emails and other chatting sites as well. But facebook do give us the privacy setting advantage. Where you can set your settings for each member on your facebook. Hodgkinson points out the interference of advertisements. We are attacked with advertisements on Facebook. But I would like to say that advertisments are on the side so they really don’t irritate or disturb me. Frank Webster shows in Hodgkinson's article. The idea of “quantitative and qualitative” information. He wrote how people these days have became obsessed with the number of friends they have. The more friends you have on your account the better or cool you are.
I feel that yes facebook do have disadvantages but it even has its advantages. We can make new friends, we can be in touch with our old lost friends. It’s a good social network. About the privacy we can do our settings like who can see our pics, and who cant.
