Their are so many different things to do on facebook to get in touch with people. You can message, write on their wall, and even "poke" people. A very popular thing among college age kids is to "facebook creep!" Creeping usually happens when you find out somebody's name that you would like to know about, but that you don't want them to know. Creeping is going to their site and basically scanning over all of their pictures and info, without ever adding them.
Now you can play games on facebook, some of the games even cost money to play! Not only are their iTunes cards to buy, there are now facebook cards to buy for points on games. That Is Pathetic.
You can even publish whether you are single, it's complicated, in a relationship, engaged, married or even divorced. A relationship isn't considered "official" until it's on facebook. To facebook users this is a major step in the relationship. It automatically links your profiles together for people to see.
In today's culture college students use facebook as a tool to connect to friends.
According to our group, life would suck without facebook..
Yeah facebook is taking over peoples lives. If you think about it, it is an addiction people have checking with hope that someone tried to communicate with them. You can tell the people who post more feel more popular then others. Facebook is a way for people to let the world know who they are because they believe they are cool enough to talk to attractive people. It's a way for girls and guys to meet each other and talk without feeling akward talking face to face. People who feel insecure on their looks tend to talk a lot more on facebook
ReplyDeleteFacebook has become more popular then myspace. No one even thinks of getting on myspace anymore. This makes me wonder, what will replace Facebook in a few years? I also agree with the whole Facebook relationship status. I have heard several people state that if it has been a week and the other person won't change their status that the guy/girl is most likely cheating on their "significant other". I mean obviously if he/she doesn't want anyone else to know about it something is apparently going on. Which is stupid but most likely true. Facebook is not healthy for some people but it provides us with wonderful entertainment.
ReplyDeleteGreat comments everyone. I'm really interested in this issue of how facebook makes things "official," whether this is relationships or being shot!
ReplyDeleteFacebook has taken over the world! Everyone I know and meet has a facebook. Whenever you meet someone, instead of asking for their number you automatically ask if they have a facebook and what their name is so you can go add them. I also agree with how people feel about relationships on facebook. It is kind of crazy to think that our world depends on facebook to state whether a relationship is "official" or not because it really shouldn't matter, what happened to being old fashioned? I think all those things got thrown out the window when facebook was invented!
