Facebook

Summary

          Facebook is an online social networking website that connects people from all around the world. Whether you are in Canada or in Pakistan, you can still chat, video chat, share pictures and videos with each other. You can basically do everything you ever wanted to do on facebook. Facebook was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes in 2004 initially as thefacebook.com. Users can make an account on facebook.com for free. You have to add friends on this website and you can share photos and videos. This keeps on updating and you get a notification that a friend has added a picture or updated his or her status. You can also send and receive private messages from your friends. This is a great way to keep in contact with your family if you live far away. You can add friends and that will send your friend a friend a friend request which the other person can accept or deny. There is also a mobile version of this app. It is a little different than the computer version of it but with the user friendly layout of facebook, anybody can easily get through it easily. You can even organize groups or events on facebook, such as if you are having a party, at your house, instead of calling everybody, we can just create an event on facebook and easily invite our friends.

Opinion/Evaluation/Reflection 
          There are more than a billion users of this website and that says everything about facebook. Almost everybody know about this website and have great things to say about it. I have never heard a bad remark about this technology. Everybody loves to use it and at one point it was used more than even the great GOOGLE! Even though, it was just for one day, it says a lot about how much people love this website. This technology does not cost anything to use. Both the website and the mobile app are absolutely free. This information technology does not have a commercial free version because, that is the way these guys make money. They have commercials but they only give ads on your page according to your liking. This was created in the first place just for colleges and universities to use and for the students to get to know each other, but it expanded on for the world to use in 2005. This website has privacy settings that you can set yourself and those are very user friendly. This piece of information technology is definitely ready for the next generation to use and learn from.
