Blog Assingment #29-Facebook

          Facebook is practically my life!! I love it!! I am on it 24/7. It started out when 3 college boys wanted their own website. They were poor guys who could barely pay for college. This made them billionares!

          Teens/young adults/adults all use this social network for, well, socializing! You have your own profile and you can add pictures, add friends, and send people messages who you haven't seen in forever! Facebook can be safe if you block your profile to where only FRIENDS can read personal things. Such as pictures, info, etc. It is ALOT safer than myspace!

        Facebook can also be very dangerous. Some stupid people like to give out personal info to creepers! Little do they know that they are not really talking to "10 year old Bobby form Ohio," they are talking to "50 year old Sean from Wisconsin." I block all of my info, pics, wall post, EVERYTHING! I have heard about people who get kidnapped over social networks sucha as myspace and facebook over things like this.

        So you're probably getting bored from all of this. Now let's get to the history of Facebook. It all started in 2003. Mark Zuckerberg, Chris Hughes, and Moskavits were 3 freshmen in the college of Harvard University. They made this AMAZING website as Facemash. Suddenly, Facemas was getting VERY popular! A company decided to buy Facemash from the 3 boys and turn it into Facebook. The boys are now billionares!! Talk about following your dream!

       In conclusion, Facebook is a great website. It can be dangerous and not dangerous. In my opinion, noone under the age of 12 should have a facebook. People do not understand the dangers in this world and what could happen to them by just giving out a little information. One second, their life could be normal, but the next, they are being kidnapped and brought to another country. All of this because of a harmless website....
