Topic > Facebook, a useful means of socialization. - 757

The advancement of communication technologies has brought our friends within a stone's throw. In particular, Facebook allows us to share our ongoing lives through advanced cyber imagery. This element of society has opened a new window for people eager to share information with intimacy and personal relationships. In the field of social communication people often use this wonderful medium and it has ultimately created a world of virtual friendship. Because of its virtual ownership, people sometimes consider Facebook friendship superficial and pretentious. Niedzviecki (2011, p. 656) called this relationship simply more than nothing in life. However, after coming into operation on February 4, 2004, in a decade of existence Facebook has established itself in front of 1.1 billion users (Wilson, 2014). Facebook has made itself unique in keeping up to date with the lives of friends, expanding the social network and providing an active flow of information. These social communication features have led Facebook to rapidly gain popularity among its users. Facebook, compared to other means of electronic communication, allows for a better understanding of life events. Keeping up to date by posting photos, statuses and sharing others' feelings Facebook users enjoy their sovereignty in communication and personal relationships. However, discontent and tiredness are also reported. King (2011, p. 332-333) argued that the nature of fragmented images posted on Facebook does not fully express users' live events. This could cause users to leave Facebook without a feeling of community. He added: "I was unhappy and felt empty. The amount of time I spent on Facebook had pushed me into an existential crisis." But as a virtual experience, Facebook allows its users to be free and not accountable to anyone. This... medium of paper... in short, like most of Facebook's creations, can also be advantageous or disadvantageous depending on how you choose to filter the information. It is extremely difficult to draw a line on how useful or not it is. So it is the responsibility of users, not Facebook, to decide which information or links to access. With enormous reach and flexibility, Facebook is a widely accepted networking site where people can keep in touch with friends and family, share experiences, strengthen social interactions. and collect information. It may exercise some issues of privacy, internet addiction and technology abuse. However, the positive impact of Facebook outweighs the negative ones as it helps build a communicative and informative society. Our new generation of Facebook users will surely overcome concrete challenges on the road to community, family and professional triumph.
