This paper looks at Facebook, the popular social networking site, and explores some of the negative impacts the site can have on its members. This paper considers the perspective of individuals who use Facebook for personal reasons, with their primary motivation being to renew and maintain friendships. The key area that will be examined is that contrary to Facebook being considered a device to socially network, it actually infuses separation and generates antisocial patterns of behaviour, which are isolating to the individual and actually detach them from society.
