Technology has altered the world and consequently the communication process, in recent times it is almost impossible for people to avoid using technology to communicate. Business has changed, with people using alternate technology routes of communications and advertisements, it is evident that most if not all businesses have gone paperless, making use memos sent to employees pads or messages sent via emails, conference schedules, and some even providing cell phones for faster communication. A huge example of a major technological innovation is Facebook, everybody has a Facebook account. This platform of communication makes it possible for people to post pictures and chat live with their families and relatives irrespective of the distance.
Facebook presently has 901 million dynamic users spread over every part and every corner of the world. In March, the website handled an average of 526 million regular dynamic users. There has been an estimated figure of 488 million scheduled active users who use Facebook on their mobile devices (Dipiazza, 2012). Evidently this website has reached the core of each and every one and as thus affects everyone in different ways. It is safe to say that it has and is progressively fundamentally changing the lives of millions of people.
One of the ways that Facebook has exceptionally changed the society is that it has brought about the previously experienced old fashioned neighborly chat up. It is very interesting that at this moment, the most popular website ever invented for communications is one that produces the backyard fence quality of the neighborhood (Bauerlein, 2011). People spend endless hours chatting up their friends next door contrary to the old fashioned visit. This in turn alienates people from each other physically. Socializing and dating has thus changed with the introduction and distribution of the Facebook platform. People meet and sometimes fall in love with their soul mate on Facebook (Espejo, 2012).
With Facebook allowing its users to pass media and personal thoughts to a vast audience, Facebook has revolutionized how people pass information. Important news sometimes gets passed on faster on Facebook than the regular news (Espejo, 2012). With the vast number of users on Facebook, many people perform businesses on Facebook by, doing marketing and advertising on the platform. Users share their opinions to others about public situations like wars. Opening pages on Facebook where heated arguments ensue.
In conclusion, Facebook is an entirely different way of communicating that has crept into the lives of all of us and as thus been a major influence to millions of people. Although for some people Facebook wrecks their lives, others see it as a positive and ultimately effective way to stay in touch and share personal information with family, loved ones and friends. Now no one hesitates to open a Facebook account irrespective of the downfalls suffered by the platform. In the developing world that we live in, this is but the tip of the iceberg to new innovations.
