1. ______________________________
There is no way to deny the importance of having a Facebook account in the modern world. It’s almost like a social pressure standard that you have to get a Facebook account or people will label you as an anti-social person. The truth is that it should never matter what people think about something like that, but there are some things about Facebook that everyone should now. Once you join, you will be exposed to positive and negative things and that is what this article is about.
2. _________________________
Facebook is an excellent place for people who want to stay in touch with their friends and family and if you use it for this purpose, you will find it to be very rewarding. It’s also a great way to remember birthdays and there is no question that most people find this feature to be a lifesaver.
Another pro about Facebook is that you can turn it into a daily feed of news from all over the world. All you have to do is subscribe to the top news networks and newspapers and you will be getting all the relevant information on a daily basis.
3. _________________________
There are many cons about Facebook that people don’t really take into consideration. The first one is that if you start accepting friend request from everyone you know, you will start to lower the quality of the interactions with your closest friends and family.
There is also the large number of publications that contain plenty of spyware and a large assortment of virus threats that you could end up catching. Another serious con about Facebook is that you can easily get caught up in this network and you can start wasting your time that could be used for more productive things.
Conclusion
Facebook can be a great platform to use as long as you take the time to learn how to use it properly and you never let yourself get caught up in it.

Japanese tsunami dog and owner reunited
A dog that was rescued after spending three weeks floating at sea after a huge earthquake and tsunami has been reunited with its owner, who recognised the dog when she saw a TV news report on the rescue on Friday.
The dog was found by a Japan Coast Guard crew on a roof drifting some 1.8km off the coast of one of the worst-hit areas along Japan's north-east coast. The roof that the dog was found on is believed to have broken off the house and been washed out to sea by the retreating waters of the devastating tsunami.
The two-year-old dog called Ban had an emotional reunion with its owner at an animal care centre where it had been taken to be looked after. Local media reported that Ban immediately jumped up and was very excited when the owner appeared. "We'll never let go of her," said the owner, who wished to remain anonymous.
