    "Social distancing while being social"

    Posted 2020-11-30

    Pros: I love the fact that I am able to keep up with all of my friends and family publicly or privately. Facebook's pages are also great to find people with similar interest or even if you are looking to buy/sell items.

    Cons: One thing I dislike, is that Facebook's algorithm in which you can only see certain highlighted people all the time. I have a bunch of friends but I only see a handful of what is posted. Additionally, there are too many adds, especially when trying to watch videos.

    Overall: You definitely have to get onto Facebook of you haven't done so already. Its awesome for the older generation to see what's going on in the world and its great for the younger generation to stay connected in a virtual way.

    "Facebook - Start of an era."

    Posted 2020-06-09

    Pros: (+) Facebook is very easy to use, one can set up an account for free of cost and can start using the application.
    (+) Great way to connect and stay in touch with friends and family.
    (+) Sharing of photos, videos are easy on Facebook.
    (+) Facebook also hosts games that you can play with friends.
    (+) Facebook reminds events like birthdays, anniversaries which is one of the best features (Subject to information provided by users)

    Cons: (-) Annoying suggestions to add friends.
    (-) Verification of accounts should happen because its easy to open a fake account and cheat users.
    (-) Cyberbullying, harassment, the spread of hatred have increased with the rise of Facebook.
    (-) Lots of fake information is posted on Facebook which leads its users in the wrong direction.

    Overall: My experience with Facebook is very pleasant, I have made most of my college just by surfing through the meme pages on Facebook. It is a great platform to connect with friends and family. Facebook helps in recollecting memories and remembering birthdays and anniversaries and important occasions. But on the other hand, there is a lot of negativity on Facebook in the form of cyberbullying, spread of hatred by memes and posts and there is no barrier to control such events. The importance of Facebook is coming down these days because of rise of other platforms like Instagram, Snapchat.

    "Love it for what it is."

    Posted 2020-06-09

    Pros: I love that you connect with people, find/host events, share photos and more, promote business, raise money and see news that would not otherwise be publicized.

    Cons: I do not like how it was turned into more of an opinion hub. Though this is user error more than anything, Facebook has definitely encouraged it.

    Overall: I think like most, I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. It is great for so many things, but it definitely has a lot of user error downsides.

    "A bit disingenuous"

    Posted 2020-06-08

    Pros: I used to heavily use Facebook, both to keep in touch with friends and family, and to stay on top of events within my school communities. It's still exceptional for keeping in touch with people you might otherwise not be able to see in person.

    Cons: Ever walk down the street and then see that same person's profile in your recommended friends' list? Creepy.

    You have to manually opt out of stuff like allowing search engines to use your photos, and that's good for Facebook's growth but terrible for the users. Not to mention all the hubbub about fake news...

    Overall: A good product for keeping in touch, but keep in mind it does have a hefty privacy cost even though it's a free product.

    Pros: I have to say I love almost everything about facebook. I remember when facebook was only for college students. I'm glad they changed that requirement.

    Cons: Facebook seems to be everywhere. I would like to see less ads on Facebook but other than that Facebook is a must have in today's world.

    Overall: Facebook truly is social media. Everybody has one. It's a way to keep in touch with friends and family and business associates. I cant imagine where we would be in social media without Facebook.

    "A revolution, yet a dying giant."

    Posted 2020-05-25

    Pros: - Facebook came along and changed everything about social networking. In fact it was the platform that made the term social networking known.
    - The entire world is on Facebook and it has become a huge marketplace. You are missing out on a lot of opportunities if you're not using Facebook right.

    Cons: - This platform has become so big that it has entered a phase where people are not sure if it's good for society anymore. People have no idea how much data Facebook collects from their users and laws need to be made to control something like this.
    - The overall value of the Facebook newsfeed has been declining sharply for most people since the last few years. This is particularly because of the increased marketing on the site and privacy concerns.

    Overall: Facebook is a generational giant that has played a part in shaping several major events in the world and redefining how humans connect with each other. It has brought about the entire ecosystem of social networking platforms and completely changed our behavior. We are yet to see if this is a good thing.
