Social Networking Debate

I believe that social networking is mostly beneficial to use because you can get help from others and you get to know or learn new stuff. Yes, much time is wasted in social networking, but some of the time is used usefully. This is mainly based from Facebook since it is the most popular social networking site.

One way social networking is beneficial is you find out about current events or things that have happened around the community. This is helpful or beneficial because you get informed from what is happening around you. This would alarm you to try and stay safe if something bad has happened around you. This would also tell you about events you would like to attend some time. Here is a quote that states about posts,

More than 30 billion pieces of content (web links, news stories, blog posts, notes, photo albums, etc.) shared each month.

This quote or static means a few things. This means that there are tons of new stories or current events published onto social networking sites. You can learn what has happened in different places. From the US, Germany, Italy, and so on. Also a few people link their blogs on Facebook so they can know about a few different things. This gives you many options to learn or know about.

Another way social networking is beneficial is you can get help from other people, friends. Sometimes people do not have each others numbers, what do you do. You add them on Facebook and ask them for help. I believe that help from Facebook or any social networking site is better than texting because it is more faster.

One supposed goal for Facebook is to unite the world as stated here,

Facebook's mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected.

This quote states that the goal  for Facebook is to simply let people connect and share stuff each other. It also says "make the world more open" which I believe means as more tolerant or helpful. This goal seems like it has been reached because many many people have a Facebook. Many people stay connected and share stuff through Facebook. I also believe that the world could stay connected with each other because you can learn and talk to other people around the world.

Here is a bunch of facebook statistics. These statistics are about many things.
