social networking



Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg and in it's first week it already had 1,000 members.
There are so many social networks for example Facebook, Bebo, Myspace, Twitter etc. The most popular of all is Facebook if Facebook was a country it would have the third biggest population taking after India and China. There are many positive and negative outcomes of social networking.
 First I'll begin with the positives.
  • Allows you to connect with new and old mates.
  • You can talk to people all over the world.
  • It also let's your friends see recent pictures, information and an easy way to share information.
However the positives also have many negatives.
  • It distractions you.
  • We even lose social skills in person.
  • Strangers poising as different people aka mates or celebrities.
  • or even speaking to strangers.
Social networks change relationship online and offline for example we add friends but lots of the people were friends with we may have only spoke to once. Also it may put a strain on are relationships with are parents. Sometimes you add people that you probably don't even know.


We never take in all information presented to use on Internet. The world wide web has so much information even the stupidest information ever like 'why is the colour purple called purple?'. On social network site's like Facebook have a news's feeds which isn't like news stories it is just mainly useless information. Also on Facebook you can go on someones profile look at information this could be helpful if you wanted to get someone a gift and didn't know what they would like. It could also be used to look at someones contact details if you lost their number or something. All the information that is on the Internet is so much and not one person can process it all, look at imdb (Internet movie database) it has information about all the films, TV shows everything and the cast and crew.

If the web didn't exist I would know no different but if the system broke down I wouldn't be writing this and would have to buy a newspaper to see the news and use my phone more often. I think everyone wouldn't know what to do with their self. I wouldn't be able to play games well I could play board games, I wouldn't get emails I'd have to write letters etc. But maybe without the Internet would we constant more on homework or what ever were doing and be more educated.

Social networks are changing constaly for example applications, updates on are phones etc. The future of social networks I think Facebook may become old news and you'll have a new crazy a new way of communicating. Technology is constantly changing HD TVs to 3D TVs maybe one day will have a TV which  you can actually stand up and look around the Conner like we tried to do when we were little.
