It is very interesting to read about the start of face book and how it has become the social powerhouse it is today. Zuckerberg ran into many issues while first building face book into what is it today, but the choices he made turned out to be the right ones, and face book has now become a revolutionary movement in the social network realm. The idea started out relatively small, with only targeting college students and requiring an .edu email address. By expanding on other social networks already available, Zuckerberg was able to expand face book into what it is today.
It is interesting to think back before the time of face book and remember when AOL instant messaging was one of the most popular ways to be involved in social networking and chat with friends. This concept has been expanded by face book and other social networks to a much more intricate and sophisticated way to build social networks. With millions of people now joining the face book movement, people from all over the world and multiply languages can all join in on the largest social network in the world. The social implications that face book has on society is the ability to be far apart from people, but still be able to keep in touch with them. The way society is communicating with each other is changing, and the normal face to face interactions has now moved onto the internet. I think that the future will only expand on this notion and face book will become more and more apart of peoples lives. Although I have face book, I think the fact that people are using face book rather then having face to face interactions will have a negative effect on society. As we move into the future, we will see just how big the face book effect will become, and its overall effect on our society and culture.
