photographs, etc.

40. A timeline >

41. The most popular? Facebook
“Founded in 2004, Facebook’s mission is to make the world
more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay
connected with friends and family, to discover what’s going on
in the world, and to share and express what matters to
them.” (Facebook.com)
Mark Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO
More than 650 million active users

42. Just the facts
In 2009, people spent more time on these
sites than 2008- more than 3% more time.
1 in every six minutes of total time time
spent on the internet is used for social
networking (http://
socialnetworking.procon.org/)

43. IN A NUTSHELL.

v=3SuNx0UrnEo

44. But what does this mean?
In more ways than not, it’s a good thing.
It allows for instant connection.
Any type of information is available right
at your fingertips. Literally.

45. There has to be some things
wrong with it... Right?
Yes, there are. Some people consider social media/networking
the downfall of society.
Perhaps the access of all knowledge at your fingertips is a
negative situation. It’s eliminate the idea of “ignorance is
bliss”.
“Over sharing.”
Time swam=lazy people
Easy to “do bad”.

46. Either way...
It’s happening. We are in the midst
of a social media revolution. Any way
you look at it, social media is the
way of the future- and the here and
now. Hop on the bandwagon.

47. THE INTERNET
Search Engines
The rise of available
information- there in
milliseconds
Social Networking
Connection with
everyone or loss of
real communication?

48. YOU’VE COME A LONG
WAY BABY.
