Facebook's Purpose

What is the purpose of Facebook?

The original purpose of Facebook was to connect users with classmates. Zuckerberg only let college students from Harvard sign up. They stayed in contact with each other, mostly for school related things. In time, Zuckerberg allowed all people to sign up and connect. Facebook spread throughout many countries. When that happened, the new purpose was to connect users from all around the world. It joined many lost family members and friends.

Today, Facebook has so many new applications and games. Instead of going on to socialize, people go on to be entertained. There are over 900 million activities, including groups, games and applications, on Facebook. This causes Facebook to be used way too often. People are beginning to use Facebook for numerous hours a day. This is very unhealthy because not only does it decrease a person's communication skills by talking to people they can talk to person everyday, but it causes users to become addicted and stay on for hours.

Facebook should only be used for communicating. If a person wants to play games and mess with applications they can easily sign on to a different website. -->> In my opinion at least
