“All the cool kids are Quitting Facebook” is an article written by the reporter from New York Times, Jenna Wortham that exposed about how Facebook continued to grown drastically since it first released on net. But one thing that really weird is that the percentage of Facebook’s users that quitting from Facebook is increasing in number nowadays. No doubt that Facebook is something so familiar to every ear of the people living in this whole wide world. This well-established social network used to be one of the most popular and addictive site compared to other social networks. This trend of having Facebook  account which is called “cool” among the people in every level of ages now is changing to the trend of quitting Facebook which is considered cooler. The question mark that lingers in my mind right now is why Facebook was so acceptable at the first place and now it is getting ignored by most of the people around the world.

Well for me, Facebook is a good tool of two way communication when I first registered for it last four years where at that time I was still in high school. I can’t deny the fact that I got into this virtual Facebook world because I felt that I need to follow the newest trend of “facebooking” among teenagers. But as years goes on, I admit that I'm not interested to Facebook anymore. I think that it is lifeless, a waste of time and yes, it is not COOL at all.


From my viewpoint, this article wants to make people realised that Facebook is not everything and it is just a social networking site that actually can decreases the trust of people towards each other in some way. Yes it is true that by facebooking you can interacts with your friends, but remember that it is actually creating a virtual life for you that might make you forget about the real world you are living in.

Honestly I fully support Wortham’s article about the changes numbers of Facebook followers as it can make people realised the real phenomenon happening among internet users in this era. Plus, people should know that they should appreciate the life given by God and they should live it to the fullest and not wasting it on the matter of “facebooking”. We should never let go of our strong bonds relationship in life with our friends or family just because of the name of “Facebook”.

In short, I can say that Facebook is not a bad either a good thing to be seen as .It’s actually depends on ones to benefits it or to get disasters from it. We should think critically on every aspect before we involved in anything or even in any virtual world. Hope with the falling numbers of the Facebook account users it will brings more happiness and new environments for them. If there is a better luck, may the society will not experienced any cons from Facebook site anymore. Quitting or continuing is located just on the tips of your fingers, so just make a good choice.

p/s: Jenna Wortham, you are cool.
