Facebook assingment by: Brooke Nolte

So many companies all over the world are trying to create the next best thing that everybody will want or be a part of. So for teenagers, high school students, college students and parents; there is one website where all of these different groups of people can come together and communicate. Facebook, has taken over society today in many ways that people do not realize. Just a couple years ago it was normal to pick up a house phone and call someone just to talk. Then after that it become the cell phone rage where everybody had a cell phone so many people had started talking on cell phones. After cell phones many people communicated through e-mails because it become easier and a way of saving time. Now with all of the high-technology today many communicate still through e-mail but have expanded communication through text messaging. So why not continue this pattern of communication by creating a website where you can communicate by leaving messages. Because facebook is so popular in today society, people can access facebook form almost anywhere because of technology in cell phones and wireless internet, so people could literally be on facebook at day if they choose to. The culture of America has changed to the fact that many people do not feel the need to speak or meet with other people, instead many prefer just to keep social relationships to e-mails or text messages. In this case many people are missing out on getting to know someone and their personality and because of this a lot of miscommunication is happens. Many users of facebook feel that their personality is shown on their own facebook site. By being able to post pictures of themselves on their facebook , also being able to share your interests and views on facebook. One thing interesting about facebook is it was created so people could keep in contact with each other in your own network. But it has turned into this huge collaboration of people from all different networks being friends with each other. Which is a great idea so student can keep in contact with people that they went to high school with and went to a different university. One problem with facebook is many people are friends with other people and they have no idea who they are and have never met them before. That is when things get tricky because you do not know the little details about people when you meet them over the internet. Facebook has become so popular in American society today because many Americans strive to be able to show their individuality and facebook has given many people a way to show who they the way they want to be seen. Anyone can create a facebook and write about themselves, but nobody will really know if anything they said is true or not. For some people they create these profile that has a cute girl or a cute guy in the picture and will say they do all of these activities just so they can feel better about themselves. So again, instead of meeting with people to keep a connection going and to get to know someone on a personal level many believe they are connected to a person through the internet but the internet is not always correct. Today our society has become lazy and is resorting to fast easy communication, and because of that many people have lost personal connections to others. And the culture of America has changed to the fact that we do not value personal time with others anymore, we worry more about saving time.
