My observation on Facebook

No one will doubt that Facebook is one of the most popular stuffs in Taiwan or even in the whole world. As it is a trend now, I don’t think there is any shortage to use it; especially it is fun and has lots of functions.

Before, we usually interact with our friends on the MSN or the Noname(無名). For MSN, we need to have people’s accounts to talk with them, which means that it is impossible to talk with people we do not know. Also for Noname, it is hard to meet more new friends. But for Facebook, after I leave a message on my friend’s website, both of my friends and my friend’s friends can see the message. It is not one to one anymore. It is one to many now.

Because of Facebook, I find people, who have the same interests, baseball. What is unique for Facebook is that we can see people’s headshot. On other’s websites, we can only see people’s nickname. We won’t know anything about the person. But from the picture, at least, we can see his appearance and know more about one person. If two people have the same interests and they think each other’s appearance is acceptable, it is possible for them to be together, or at least to be friends. It is always good to find someone who has the same interests, isn’t it?

Another function that Facebook has is to become someone’s fan. This one is also pretty good. Because of Facebook, I get to know more about Roger Federer, the number one in tennis. From Facebook, we can see the message that he leaves so that we can know what he is doing recently or what his feeling is. It makes me feel that the distance between us is not so big anyomore.

For the small games part, instead of saying that those games are really interesting, I would say that those games give people the feeling of belonging. In our life, we keep finding where we belong to, like our family, one of the members of a school, a club, group, and so on. It makes us feel safe and makes us clearly know that we are somebody, not nobody. Also, playing a small game is a habit. For example, I will try to get up early to harvest my plants in the happy harvest in the morning. I don’t think that I am addicted to it. It is just a habit. Another kind of small game is metal tests. Of course, some of the results are accurate and it makes us to know ourselves better. Also, it is interesting to test have all kinds of questions, especially questions that I haven’t think of, like“What kind of stuff will happen to me in this month?” Although most of the result are just nonsense, it is fun.

Although we can communicate and have contact with others on the Facebook, which is very convenient, it makes me more aware of the importance of face-to-face interaction. Facebook is just a tool. It is not everything.
