Face Book The Epidemic

     When face book first came out a couple of years ago, it instantly spread around the world like an plague or the common cold.  When the social network was first launched it was a way for college students to all come together in one place to communicate with other students all around the world. It was a way to personally express your self as an individual. For the few people who don’t understand why face book grew into such a phenomenon is for the simple fact that they never had a face book of there own.  I must admit when I first entered kean university as a freshman I herd every one on campus talking about the new thing that has causing raves all over the internet.  I wasn’t to ambitious of finding out what this website was all about because when it came to website you really had no say with what you read or what you came across on that website. For the simple fact some one else generated the web site.  Even though a lot of people would love to take time out of there busy schedules and to make up a webpage of there own. For the viewing pleasure of others. A large number of people don’t have the time or for a large number most are just not interested.

       Face book was a way to create a personal webpage and to communicate with the world. Millions of people all around the nation figured out that they can share their personal feelings, thoughts and expressions as well as images through the social net work. And that is how the epidemic speeded.  One of the most popular features that face book has is the ability to post your personal pics,  It doesn’t matter what theme the individual wants to post. It could be family oriented or it could be a nice nigh out on the town. The one most popular theme that a lot of students are posting  these days is the club/party theme. During a course of the night individuals would all take photos of the person or friends that they went out with. Some times the students would take pics of their intoxicated friends and would up load it on there profile. Every one that I know on face book loves to up load pics.

     I may be wrong but the second most common application that is on face book is the ability to request a friend. A friend request is really suppose to be an application  where if you know a person in the real would and if you would like them to be learn more about you as a person or just to come and communicate with on your profile that is the main purpose of that application.

     Over the years as more and more people decided to create a face book page. The epidemic grew larger and larger until now there is well over a million users all over the world, like Africa, Europe, and all over the United states and growing. To be honest face book is one of the most addictive websites that is on the web as of now in my opinion. Because I check my face book at least 3 times day. In order to see if I have any messages from friends or if I want to up load any pics that I would love to share with my friends .
