Facebook and How It Changed the World

I plan on doing my research project about Facebook. I believe it is very clear that the creation of Facebook has transformed social media and thereby the world. I would like to study the positive and negative attributes of this change. In order to get a good footing on where to begin my research I began using Facebook less than a week ago. For years, I shied away from Facebook. I felt that I already had a few email accounts to check among the many things to do while online and I didn't want to have something else to constantly check and update. Additionally, I began to realize that if used properly Facebook can be very advantageous. I hope that through my usage of Facebook I can get an understanding of how people act/conduct themselves on Facebook and how they use it. I believe that this can give me an idea on how to continue conducting my research for this project. I am excited about this project and am confident that it will be an amazing learning experience.

  1. It is true that Facebook can be very advantageous to us if its used properly. It can be used not only for sharing personal information but also used in various ways. I used the group feature with classmates last semester for the first time and I realized that it is very usable for academic purposes as well.
