Sir: Facebook is one of the most popular social networking websites globally. It is considered a uniting force. Many distant college and university friends have come together through facebook. The galvanising force of social media cannot be questioned but there is a concern to the increasing use of facebook in Pakistan. Since we are not in the habit of doing things systematically, teenagers have been found hooked to the site, ignoring their health, family life, even studies. With an easy access to facebook through cellular phones, the connectivity within families and with the surroundings has suffered. Moreover, the concept of privacy is eroding. Use of decent and acceptable language is ignored. Blurred focus, inconsistent thoughts and obesity are the results of socialisation on the web. I would request my fellow students and citizens to realise the importance of time and learn not to give something more than its due. ALLIYA FATIMA Karachi
