Facebook

Facebook, it’s even in the dictionary now! It would be correct to explain what Facebook is, but if you don’t know then you are living in a different century. Everyone has Facebook these days, even my mom, and she I must say she is not a very modern or trendy person. Facebook was launched on February 2004, and at first it wasn’t so famous, but now… over 500 million people are active users of Facebook, meaning one of every fourteen people in the world have and use Facebook. It was founded by three Harvard students who were roommates, Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes. I mean it would be awesome to become a millionaire by inventing a website. Of course at first it started small, they made it for Harvard students only, later they moved onto letting other Ivy league universities use it, then any university students and now the let anyone who claims to be over 13 to use it. But what goes up must come down, and there have been some privacy issues on Facebook, where peoples personal information was leaked, resulting in some bad thing. They even banned it in some countries such as, North Korea, Syria, Pakistan, and People ’s Republic of China, Vietnam, Iran, and Uzbekistan. But even with these glitches and bannings, people still use Facebook ALL the time.
