Facebook, created by Mark Zuckerberg on 2004, is a social network designed to connect people,

that is, share information, news and audiovisual content with friends and family. In addition, Facebook
has some advantages or disadvantages which may vary depending on whether their use is personal, to
educate or at the company level. For example, some advantages of Facebook are: 1) Personal
compilation: Although you may not have noticed, Mark Zuckerberg's invention works as a kind of
personal album / diary. Simply get into the option of "photographs" and "videos" to observe your
whole life in snapshots. 2) Discover the person you were looking for: If you have never been able to
find a former friend or classmate with whom you lost contact, now with Facebook you can know about
him or her, since it has millions of users and there is a high rate of probability of finding that person.
3) Entertainment: One of the main functions of Facebook is to entertain, so when you open Facebook
you will be able to access an infinite number of topics. You will find content of all kinds, whether about
sports, movies, music, history, science, etc. And some of its disadvantages are: 1) It is addictive: The
mobile phone revolution through smartphones has brought about a disconnection from the real world.
It is common to see people fix their eyes on the phone for long hours and even more when Facebook is
involved. There have also been accidents on the streets lately because people get distracted with their
cell phones. 2) Invasion of privacy: When registering on Facebook, it is explained to you that you
must fill in a series of terms and conditions in which, in addition to giving free way to expose yourself
publicly, you have to provide your mobile phone, place where you have studied, interests, and much
more. 3) Harm your professional life: It would not be the first time a job is denied due to Facebook.
When conducting a job interview, the head or employee of human resources, enter your Facebook
profile or any other social network and observe your activities. If you don't like what you see, your
options to get a place in the company are reduced.

WhatsApp, founded in 2009 by Jan Koum, is a chat application for next-generation mobile phones,
the so-called smartphones. It is used to send text and multimedia messages among its users. Like
Facebook, WhatsApp has advantages and disadvantages. For example some advantages about using
WhatsApp are: 1) It offers various services: The WhatsApp platform offers a variety of services: instant
messaging, voice and video calls, voice memos and multimedia content upload. 2) End to end
encryption: Messages, images and audios sent within a chat are protected with end-to-end encryption.
This encryption consists of a system of protection of the privacy of the users that ensures that the
messages are read only by the telephone number to which they were sent. In addition to this, the
application offers different levels of privacy. For example, it allows users who are not registered as
contacts cannot see the profile picture or personal information. 3) Share multimedia content: In
WhatsApp you can share different types of multimedia files: from images to audio files and videos. And
some disadvantages are: 1) like Facebook, WhatsApp is addictive: Because of its speed and the
benefits it offers, the WhatsApp application is very addictive. This causes users to decrease the amount
of time they interact with people around them. 2) It causes visual problems: Being a long time looking
at the led screen of the cell phone, without a doubt, generates long-term vision problems. 3) It can
cause anxiety: Being connected for a long time, getting used to a person virtually, waiting for messages
that will not arrive, that the internet fails and we cannot communicate, those and more situations,
generate long-term anxiety.
