Anyways;; here's my review on "Faceless on Facebook" by Kate Beals.
Raise your hand if you have a Facebook! *Raised my hand!!* I have to be honest, when I first made my Facebook, I was totally going insane in the About Me section. I wanted my old friends to "like" me. It seemed like the author was going through the same thing. The difference between the author and myself is that she couldn't stand the pressure and she didn't want to seem fake.
Facebook is a place to stay connected whether it be long distance or not. For myself, I use FB to keep in touch with my family in Mexico. From what the author has said, she was pressured to have an account because her close friends had one. There really isn't a point for her to have a Facebook if she only wants one because her friends want one.
WHY DOES FACEBOOK DO THIS?! Because of social pressure. Great...
