In today's age of the Internet and social media, almost everyone has a Facebook page. Most people use Facebook as a way to communicate with old friends and family who may live far away. Others use it to promote a company or event. Facebook has negative and positive aspects. Facebook is great, as users can create and personalize their profiles with photos, videos, and other information about themselves. Facebook also has an option where a user can send private messages to another user without having to know their personal email address. Friends can also browse the profiles of other friends' pages and comment on their updated status or simply write on the person's wall. Facebook is a great website for finding old friends and connecting with new friends. The Facebook timeline is also great for networking, whether it's personal choices like dating or meeting new people, or business choices like promoting a business or event. Facebook has some downsides such as privacy. There have been many changes to Facebook's privacy settings where a user may not realize they are sharing their posts publicly. Additionally, a user may overshare, such as posting photos and tagging friends that others may not want to post. Another disadvantage is that Facebook is time consuming. Users can find themselves spending too much time on Facebook and rarely engaging in face-to-face contact with their friends and family. Overall, despite some drawbacks, Facebook is a great form of social media, easy to use, and a great way to stay in touch with friends and family. With so many people on Facebook and the site so popular, it's difficult to reconnect with friends and family. For many people, one of the best uses of the Internet is… the medium of paper… behavior. Overall, Facebook is a great resource for connecting and staying in touch with friends and family. It allows users to see what is happening in the lives of their loved ones and feel involved in some way. The site has a downside in terms of privacy for some people. This can range from people knowing where you are via the "check in" option, from being tagged in images or videos that you don't want other people to see, or from companies and authorities using the website for own interests. Whatever the reason a person creates a Facebook profile, as with all social media, it is best to use precautions about what is posted and who a person connects with to safeguard their privacy. All in all, Facebook has millions of members and I'm sure it will continue to grow as web technology becomes more advanced and widely used around the world.
