Fb...Facebook

 

Facebook is one of the most used social networking sites online today. It was created in 2004 by five Harvard students, in order to introduce people to what was happening around them, it was meant only for the Harvard students. But as the idea was such a good one it stemmed to other Ivy League colleges near them.  The website becoming so famous it had a move made about it called “The Social Network” and Jesse Eisenberg acting the main part of Mark Zuckerburg, the founder and CEO, of Facebook.

The idea of Facebook to a lot of people is a way to catch up with those who were thousands of kilometres away. To talk to them without having to wait for the e-mail, or a way show people pictures of themselves at parties, out with friends. Showing off what they can do, what they are allowed to do and where they have been. Every person that is a member on Facebook has their own part in it, having their own Personal Profile gives everyone that little bit more either freedom or faith that even if they lie about how they were highly religious in Jedi-ism. They could say that it was a joke hopefully some people could laugh at it.

There are good yet bad aspects to having a ‘Facebook account’ there have been studies done that show that people can become 'envious and dissatisfied' with their lives. Due to the pictures or statesus they see on friends or co-workers ‘walls’. The trips they have been on and the gifts they have received.  

However there are plenty of aspects in Facebook that make it that much better than 'Myspace' or 'Twitter', to some they might be good to others they might be bad. The ability to be able to find out what is happening in the community, by simply pressing a button. If they are missing out on anything they just open up their computers or their mobiles and find out what is happening.
Facebook has over One Billion people that use Facebook. According to statistics nearly 9% of the Personal Profiles are incorrect which is due to people creating different versions of themselves. Then creating another profile to show who they truly are.


Some people enjoy using it, and just can not live without knowing what is happening on "FB". Other people like me forget that they have an account and only remember when people send them things. or when they are told to send people something. It is useful but at the same time. It cuts people off from each other. As Thomas L. Friedman said "Unless you get out of Facebook and into someone's face, you really have not acted" 2012.
