The Facebook Phenomenon

The Facebook phenomenon has taken the world by storm. On a recent visit to a public library I was shocked to find that most people were logged on to Facebook. I can honestly say that I am also a victim of this recent trend. It was only recently that I realized this fact when I started having problems with my internet. I was like a crack addict looking for a computer so that I could log in and check what my friends were doing. I remember one year ago walking into a public library and seeing all the teenagers on MySpace. I began to ponder what the future holds for social networking sites will these same people be on the sites when they are in their 50s to stay in touch with friends or will there be a new type of site. Although I love Facebook I am sure it will be replaced by another site and then everyone will move there. It seems that everyone is moving from one network to another. I have the same friends on Hi5, friendster, MySpace and now Facebook. I think it is time to cut ties with all of them and stay with Facebook until I get a life. Is it really important to see what my friends are doing every minute probably not but it is fun.
