social network site

We are living in the 21st century where communicating between one another has developed to an extent that people regard it as a norm in society. From mobile phones to chatting on the net.

These days social network sites such as MySpace and facebook has become a space where people engage with their friends and uploading and sharing of files such as music which they like and putting up photos of themselves and commenting on each other’s web pages.

It seems as though that most students have an account with facebook these days and that it seems like it has become a main plat form for social networking sites. When you go to Kate level 0 or level 2 to use a computer, u always see people logged on to facebook and this gives you a impression how big the social networking sites have become in the society of today.

Sense of belonging to one another, gossiping, sharing and keeping in touch is one of many reasons that contribute to the use of facebook by the users. One could argue that it has become something that is hard to live without as facebook has become something that is part of the identity of the user. It represents user from the offline to the online world and you can argue how the offline identities of the user can transfer to the online world and with the use of facebook it can be argued that it’s a possible thing.

There is an argument of how these social networking sites make people to interact with each other in the online world and how it can reduce real life communication in the real world but I believe it is not a point that needs to be taken into consideration.
