Facebook: Just a fad? or something more?

When Facebook was created several years ago, it was created for college students to get to know each other before becoming dorm-mates, and to connect with their friends who went off to other colleges. Since then Facebook has become a widely popular social network where people of all ages have joined to talk, connect, and just have fun. Millions of people from countries all over the world use it now, with the help of being able to change their Facebook to their language and timezone. Some people have said that it is just a fad, something people will get bored of and move on to something else. But I do not believe this to be true. So many people use it now, and they use it to connect with friends and relatives, people they haven't seen since childhood, or college, and etc. Let me use my mom as an example. My mom has found friends from her childhood, high school, college, and from when she was working with Youth With A Mission in Scotland! She now has reconnected with so many people she never thought she would hear from again, and is able to see how their lives are going, and is able to stay connected with her four sisters and other relatives! She is also friends with the people we know from church, and is able to let them know she is praying for them if they are down, or cheer them up, or invite them over or whatever is appropriate considering the situation. Facebook is definitely more then a fad. It is something much bigger. With it I am able to stay connected with my friends I don't get to see often, and talk to people even when I'm at home all week. Facebook is going to be around for a long time. So what are you waiting for? Get connected!
