" To Facebook or Not to FACEBOOK?"

Well I have had my Facebook since my freshman year. And I began using Facebook only because Myspace was changing into something different, something that was filled with adds and it was becoming more "user friendly". Facebook just seemed something new and it was way easier then Myspace. I began using Facebook more often then I should have. But you just can not help it but, talk to your friends and see what cool things there were to Like and you could have a mass conversation with all your friends. IM was always pretty cool in my opinion. Facebook was my door out to contact the outside world from my house, especially since I did not own a phone then.
A great benefit with Facebook is being able to inform yourself with the cyber world. You were able to contact friends and family who might live in another country. Facebook was always informed first with new drama (but that isn't what is important here..) People were able to create pages, and with these pages they can upload information about anything, could be something informative about a crisis that is happening somewhere around that world and they want to reach out to other people of different communities who can possibly help in some way.
Not only is Facebook great in informing yourself with news feed about anything, but it there can be the risk of strangers contacting younger people. And of course you can't fully trust the internet because you will never know what type of person is following your every move. That is why we should be careful and not put personal information out on the internet.
After reading the article, it helped me realize of how Facebook has become robotic. I say robotic because it is programmed to follow our Likes of pages, music, places, anything. It has very much become personalized, so personalized that it almost does the thinking for us. Every time we Like something an add might come up within the next 24 hours about something similar to what we Liked. I believe everyone should be informed on how personalized Google, Facebook, and other sites have become. So they can have a taste of how the information of themselves is being processed through the internet.
