Roderick Williams Jr. Mrs. Askari-Danesh 1-9-13 The Impact of Facebook on Society In this essay I am going to tell you the impact that Facebook has on today’s society. Facebook is a company that is online, which is a social network. Facebook has become one of the best if not the best in the recent years for the social networking set. Facebook was created to talk to other students and meet each other, and as you may see people got hooked on it fast. I do not doubt that there are close to a billion people using this site. What impact does Facebook have on today’s society? Facebook connects you with the people you know. It allows you to communicate, stay up to date with things, and keep in touch with friends and family. Facebook connects you with the people you know around, whether you like to take photos or look at them, or write about your everyday life, or read about your friends’ lives, Facebook is made to make things easier for you. If you want to share web-sites and news, plan events, play games, etc. Facebook has you covered. Facebook also allows people who would probably never have met each other in person to communicate; it can sometimes create relationships and friendships. Some people spend now at least half of their time online. For many people, most of their time is spent on social networking sites like Facebook. People have ruined their privacy when they post their ideas, interests, and feelings online, and society seems to be becoming much more open to this lack of privacy. Facebook users seem to do this all the time and many of them add personal information or photos to their profiles that anyone who becomes their friend can view. This is making our society much more open now, and much more open to posting information online, but it is weird because users never get to see each other, meet, or touch in any way the person they communicate
