The Ecology of Media- the Book of Faces

I think Facebook is exactly like Internet Explorer. Internet explorer is a world we are introduced to that links us to websites which we then find important information on any given subject in the world. Facebook is a world we are introduced to that links us to billions of people, vast numbers of cultures, and important information on any given person in the world. It invites us to learn about the lives of others through communicating, and that is how we represent one huge online community.

Facebook keeps everyone using it in touch. It keeps you up to date, it feeds you with knowledge you don't even need to know, but are so intrigued by. It allows you to contact people from the opposite end of the world and is so powerful, that you could talk to these people for hours without paying a single pretty penny on your phone bill. To know that different cultures throughout the globe are using Facebook is fascinating.

In fact, Facebook IS it's own culture. It brings people from various other cultures together to communicate under one life-impacting website. It's not only about keeping tabs with your friends, but gives anyone the opportunity to introduce new people of different cultures into your life. Facebook even notifies you about world issues through groups and events. It doesn't matter if you are black, white, yellow, pink, or turquoise. Anyone and everyone has access and the impact that a simple, fun website can have on the world is mind-boggling.

I participate in Facebooking every chance I get, and through Facebook I have met several great people who are continuously shaping my life, and allowing me to shape theirs. With it's elegant privacy options, you even have a choice of who you do not want to contact you, like it's taking care of your safety. The power is at your fingertips. That power is accessed with Facebook.
