FaceBook

The new thing may be twitter but that doesn't mean that Facebook is any less than it always has been. Many people use Facebook in the right way, to stay connected with friends when you are apart, and to reconnect with friends who aren't as close as they once were. Many people don't abuse Facebook in a ridiculous way, while others sadly do. How do you think Facebook has effected and changed our way of communication? Do you think Facebook was a good invention in that it reconnects people, or do you dwell on the drama started by Facebook users and think that it isn't such a good thing?

I think Facebook was a great idea. Its a social network where we can communicate and talk to our friends, post pictures and staus' etc. I also think Facebook is the root to a lot of drama. I think Facebook is now being abused. Some people are now using Facebook as a place where they make mean status' about each other. Also cyber bullying is very common on Facebook lately. I think people should start using Facebook in a positive way again.

I think facebook was a great idea to. It really got me to reconnect with people i havent talked to since in third grade. I think it really helps us reconnect with people. I do feel like it starts drama though. People will post things that will offend others. Or put things up not representing themselfs in a good way. I feel like that by people doing that it creates drama in school and off the computer. I do also thing facebook may not be good because sometimes it feels like people are finding behind their computer. They are hiding and bullying others. It also isn't helping our socail skills as young adults.

I think facebook was good idea to create. I think this because it allows people to reconnect with old, family members they haven't seen in awhile and etc. Another reason why I think this is because it also allowed people to meet new people. Facebook can be the. start of drama for most people not all. Some post different negative problems or other things on their profile that would cause another person to comment which starts an argument. I see as thought Facebook is used in a negative and positive way depending on the person but it wasn't a bad idea it just depends on how the users choose to you use it

I think that Facebook was a good website that helped/helps people reconnect with friends or family members who you barely see or just need to catch up with. Yes, Facebook causes a lot of drama, but the reason why majority of that happens is because people use Facebook sometimes for attention and not for the purpose it was made for. I do think that Facebook is probably more of an adult site because unlike us teenagers our parents don't talk to their friends as much as they use to and Facebook is a great site for them to reconnect and possibly get together again. I do not get involved with any of the drama that goes on on Facebook simply because I don't want any part in it and its just a waste of your time. I don't spend hours on Facebook because there is really nothing exciting about it. It was meant for communication and lately it hasn't been used for that. I do think it's a good website, but at the moment it is not being used the correct way. It all depends on how you use it.

Yes, I do believe that Facebook has changed the way we communicate with other people. In the beginning Facebook was a good invention, it helped friends reconnect with each other and also maybe even find family memebers that you havent seen in a long time or just meet. Facebook was a positive thing, but as time progessed and more people began to join things turned for the worst. Facebook became a mock for some kids, embrassment was every where. It was nothing but drama. Alot of he say she say stuff. facebook is now out of control! I think if your just going to talk about people stay off of Facebook because you making unappealing for others.

I beleive that Facebook a.k.a FB is a very good invention. Mainly because it brings people back together. Like i found friends on FB that i knew in preschool. It was amazing to reconnect with them. I'm even dating one of them. so FB is amazing! I love it! Bu twitter is cool too. I don't have one but i will eventually. KK BYE!LOL

I think it depends on how one uses it. Many people use facebook to connect with people that are a great distance from them. For example i use facebook to talk to some of my friends that live overseas. I'm greatful to have it. Though it does cause drama when you have particular people as friends and it may cause conflict. But as long as you don't involve yourself in it; it's not a problem.

I think Facebook was a great way to communicate with friends or family. I think it changed our way of communication for the better. I say this because many people can now get in touch with family or friends that's across the world. I think it was a very good invention to reconnect people and many people use it across the world today.
