FACEBOOKIZATION CAHS 2000

The documentary, Facebookization explores how Facebook is the most relevant form of globalization for this generation. The documentary includes interviews with many students about their usage patterns on Facebook. It displays who, when, where, and why of the social network and how it has affected their lives. One notable answer about Facebook was that, Twenty people can all be in a room and all be on Facebook and not even every say a word to each other. This concept is very disturbing; to think that we are no longer connecting in the real world, but are instead relying on this virtual place to make our relationships. This does not speak highly of where we are headed as a society. The group also looked at their own usage and each were surprised at how often they checked their Facebooks and what a huge role it plays in their daily routine. Facebook helps people all over the world and even all over our small city connect. One of the group members even met her boyfriend through the site. The definitive goal in the documentary was to determine if Facebook has ultimately helped or hurt everyone. In the end, it was decided that Facebook is a good way to keep up with friends and connect with people, but it does not need to be everyones only social outlet. Finding a balance between Facebook and real life is the most important factor in having a happy, well balanced life. Facebook is like many other things in life; everything in moderation.
