Facebook's Impact on Society


          In 2009, I joined a social networking site known as Facebook. During the time it wasn’t as well known globally as it is today. This topic interests me because it has affected a very widespread group of individuals, businesses, and organizations.  To date, only three years from my introduction, Facebook has millions active users. It is the fastest way to connect to friends, family, colleagues, and businesses. There are many applications that can be use on this social media site, such as photo sharing, gaming, and online chat.

          Facebook  does not only target my generation of students, young adults, but has also branched out to middle aged adults and seniors. Facebook is important to me because I use it to connect with relatives from other countries and reconnect with old friends.

     Facebook launched in 2004. In just 8 years this online network has become very well known to many people around the world.  It is a great source of communication. Many people use to connect with friends, to share photos, and videos.  In addition, it gives people an opportunity to share their experiences and voice their opinion. Facebook is also an efficient way to spread awareness and other forms of campaigning due to its large user base. 

    I believe that Facebook had changed the way people use the internet and connect with others, creating an easy communication system worldwide.

  1. It will be interesting to see exactly what you have to argue in regards to Facebook. What type of research will you be doing here? It won't be enough to simply explain why Facebook is useful. How has Facebook changed the world we live in? How has it changed the way people communicate? For better or for worse?
