It's funny how friends used to keep in contact in the old days. Writing letters and calling on the phone are such things of the past nowadays.
As techonlogy is advancing, so are the ways in which people are staying connected with eachother. Through the use of social networking sites, people can talk to someone halfway around the world just by the click of a button!
Social networking sites used to just cater to the younger generaton who were able to use technology more effectively, but these days it is so much more simpler to use and understand.
From Bebo, to Myspace, to now facebook and twitter, the more social networking sites being introduced, the more people are starting to join.
These days, it is simply a matter of typing in a family friend, a work mate, or an old school friends name and BANG, there u have it, your back in contact with someone u may not have spoken to for 10 years!
Not only that, but people from any age, race or country can become a part of these sites. I mean, from an 80 year old woman to a 12 year old child are all able to keep in contact with people that they know.
No matter where u are, im sure that someone within a 20m proximity of yourself is using facebook. Whether it be on a desktop, a laptop or even a mobile, without fail someone will be on it.
Take for example a typical day that i spend at uni. On the bus, i see people using facebook on their mobiles, in lecture rooms i look down and see at least 10 people there on facebook making use of the free internet. Whilst talking with a friend they ask me if they could borrow my phone to cheak their facebook.
Well, i guess with over 400 million people who are joined to facebook, i guess this isn't a surprise.
