Good Afternoon. Well todays thoughts are upon the widely accepted social networking tool called Facebook. I am a member of Facebook although I am rarely on compared to most of my peers. I find that it is a very useful tool for keeping up with friends and for scheduling events but, that is the extent that I use it. In am not obsessed with it in the least and usually check it bout once a week for updates. I know that my views on it are not shared by most of my friends but that is fine by me.
I agree with the article in saying that Facebook has become a huge deal and also that College campus's should embrace it, not push it away. It is really too big of a thing for people to overlook now and it actually does enable a great manner of communication either socially or academically, between faculty and students if University's so choose to use it. I know that my piano class and chemistry lab are both groups on Facebook and we can communicate via that when we need to. It is very useful.
I think that Facebook will just continue to becom larger and larger as more freshmen enter college each year. It is not going anywhere.

Nick,
ReplyDeleteThat's cool you don't use it very often. I try to refrain as much as I can too. I agree that Facebook is very useful but I hope that Facebook won't get too much bigger. It probably will, but I hope that we don't have to rely on an internet site to communicate in the future.
