Facebook changed You.

The Social Network

Whether you realize it or not, Facebook has changed the way we all interact. I know multitudes of people who adorn their pages in care with constant updates. There is so much to do with this outlet of expression that people rely on it heavily for expression, attention, and entertainment. We all take part of the frenzy in varying degrees, but it doesn't change the fact that it has changed you if you do utilize it. There are those who refuse to give in to the idea of sharing your "private life" with the world, but this excuse seems to diminish slowly as well. There are privacy options as you slowly ease out of your comfort level in sharing with others about your life and yourself which enable you to control what you share.

For those who have actively used Facebook over the years, do you recall how life was without it? Do you remember how you kept in touch with those that you rarely see? Were you able to share your daily complaints, revelations, and every thought that crossed your mind with the hundreds to even thousands of people you accumulated on your "Friends List"?

It's all a grand show. Immediate gratification. Instant access. Source of entertainment. Overload of information, pictures, and updates. Our lives and society are rapidly changing just like your News Feed, and you either choose to participate or not in it.

 I feel the huge phenomenon of the site has defined the years of the "Social Networking" era. The Social Network artfully caught our attention because whether you realize it or not, Facebook has become a part of your identity. Millions of you were captivated by this film because it told a story about something you may unknowingly have attachment to-- it's a part of your life.
