Personally, I really like Facebook. It helps me keep in touch with family that I have in New York and even some in California. It also helps me keep in touch with many friends who go to different colleges around the state. The idea of Facebook was a great one. It provides us with networking opportunities, allows us to make a name for ourselves, and keeps us up-to-date.
However, I do think that some of it is getting a little out of hand. I don’t see how Farmville and games like Frontierville fit in with the initial point of the website—social networking. To some people, it may help them pass the time away when boredom strikes. For me, though, the games seem pointless. It is just another way for the Facebook creators to get someone “hooked”, or addicted, to Facebook.
Overall, I believe that the website serves a very useful purpose. I get on it multiple times a day. The concept is very addicting, games or not. It’s exciting to sign on and see that people commented on your wall or your pictures. It allows us to see when people start relationships, what they’ve been up to, what they have planned, how well they are doing, their employment and schooling history, and much more. In the times that we live in today, I couldn’t image growing up in a world with Facebook. Military families keep in touch with members of the family who are deployed overseas. It keeps families together and helps friends stay close. It is our link to everyone.
