According to the "Does Facebook Replace Face Time or Enhance It?(Time)", Although Facebook started as an online hub for college students, its fastest-growing demographic is the over-25 crowd, which now accounts for more than half of the site’s 140 million active members.


My Reaction:
Back to many years ago, there were no Internet and computers in the world. If people wanted to contact with friends, family or companies, they had to write letters or make phone calls. Writing letters is not as efficient as we think because we may face some problems, such as the carelessness of post office or the postponement about getting the letters due to the bad weather. However, the circumstance has changed since the occurrence of the web and computers. People do not need to worry about the obstacles to keep in touch with friends. By Msn, e-mail and skype, they can interact with friends and family in every time and everywhere. For people in this busy society, they have less and less time to contact with their friends.

There are some advantages and disadvantages for this situation. The advantage is that we can know the condition of our friends easily. We can surf the Internet as our routine and check their Facebooks. It is easy to loss contact with friends because our friends may have less interaction with us. The disadvantage is that we may have fewer chances to meet our friends face to face and contacting with friends by merely photos lacks of a sense of reality. (240 words)
