Facebook also allows me to keep in contact with my friends back home without being on the phone all the time. My friends and I leave videos as well as text posts on each others walls to keep each other informed on how we are settling into college.
It allows us to share our pictures from events and gives us a place to put them. Pictures no longer just sit in physical albums or dormant in a pictures file- they are put out on the internet so we can reminisce on weekends and past events.
I do watch what pictures can be found of me on facebook. However, the activities I'm involved in I'm honestly not worried about people seeing them.

It's great that you use facebook for so many social reasons. What about academic reasons? You did not explain how facebook can be used in academic settings.
ReplyDeleteI also use it to keep in touch with friends from high school. I find it alot easier the ncalling them.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your statement, "I almost think it is completely necessary if you want to maintain a social life without constant face-to-face contact with EVERY single person you know." It is so true. Half the stuff people mention about each other they know because of facebook. I also look at old pictures in old photo albums to remember crazy times.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great thing to socialize. I totally agree on that! But it is so distracting academically.....
