Facebook...it is what you make of it

Facebook has affected every one of us in some way shape or form. I'm not sure I would go as far to say it is making people "kindlier, " and is a huge benefit for humanity, but i definetly don't think it is as big a problem as people are making it out to be. I agree with the earlier post which basically stated that everyone makes their own Facebook experience exactly what they want. I do not think it is ruining people's lives and if Facebook is the leading cause of drama in someone's life, they have the choice of deleting their Facebook or simply not subjecting themselves to things that would cause scrutiny. Also, let's be serious here and realize that Facebook is a way to keep in touch with people and a way to pass the time and check what people are up to. It is by no way a means of forming lifelong connections and sustaining any meaningful relationships because chance are, if the biggest intercourse between two people happens on Facebook, they are not the strongest of relationships to begin with. On the other hand, I also disagree that it is producing kinder people because if an internet site has the power to connect people and let them compliment and be nice to each other, it has the same power for people to be mean and open them to cattiness in an environment where people think they can hide behind their computers and their words are somehow less severe. There is no great mystery behind the evils or benefits of Facebook or other networking sites, because after all, without the people behind the computers, they would be powerless.
