Hello Readers,
I’ve been asked a simple question in recent times and it’s if Facebook is taking over our lives? Short answer is YES! In fact social media is having a massive impact on every aspect of our lives. It has become inescapable in our daily lives. Social media provides a platform for people to interact through the internet which has proven to be very popular and indeed very useful.
Facebook’s original objection was comparing people’s photos to see which one was “hotter”. Then it was used as a way that Harvard students could share notes and was used as a study tool exclusive to Harvard students. Now it has become accessible to everyone and has become a way to stay in contact with friends.
Facebook has added other features such as games, video chat etc. to keep it fresh and current and it has now become a huge corner-stone in what we do on the internet. If we just ask ourselves what is the first thing we search for on the internet the vast majority would say Facebook. It has become the new addiction. Now Facebook has almost become people’s entire lives. The obsession of what is going on in other people’s lives is nothing new. The days of calling over to a friend to find out the latest gossip has just evolved into doing it via web. It has become a source of news of and information that is almost rivaling the bigger news corporations like CNN and the BBC. Facebook has almost become Mecca for those looking for the latest in every aspect of life.
It is the place to find out what is happening in your social circle and in the wider world So why go anywhere else? Facebook has really become a THE place to find out what’s happening and show people what’s happening in your life.
