How has Facebook changed the 
way we live?

Well there’s a lot of ways Facebook has changed the way we live. It’s changed the way we can communicate, like a decade ago people used to send letters to each other, wait for weeks or days for a reply but nowadays, you can send a text message on Facebook then within an hour or not even that you’ll have a reply. You can send text messages to anyone all over the world. Facebook connects teenagers. We're constantly told that this is a bad thing and Facebook is turning our youth into mindless zombies but the truth is that making connections for teenagers is good. There is great content for educational purposes. Facebook has actually evolved from being just a social media website to a content distribution platform. Scholarship networks, Live seminars, Online study groups, everything is there; you just have to find it.

 But there has to be a bad side to Facebook, right?

 Privacy has always been the biggest concern for everyone on Facebook, females primarily. Since so much of your information is out there, you are more vulnerable and susceptible to attacks like identity theft, hacked accounts and frauds. The easiness the sign up process brings, is misused to create multiple fake ids.

Cyber bullying happens a lot on Facebook.

        In 2007 32% of teens were victims of some type of cyber-bullying. Nearly a decade later, a 2017 study by the Cyber-bullying Research Center found those numbers were almost unchanged. Meanwhile, the National Crime Prevention Council puts that number much higher at 43 percent.       https://www.comparitech.com/internet-providers/cyberbullying-statistics/#gref
