Why do we need Facebook?

Of course we can talk face to face. And we are doing this too. well in my opinion we need facebook because in that site we can put our photo and get a good comment from our friends and we can share our status with people and people comment on that and this things make us so happy. And some people are in facebook as they want to make more friends and some are there as they want to connection with there friends.

I use it to keep in contact with all my friends and relatives all over the world.

I took a long time to get a facebook, now that I have one I am glad that I do. its great to keep track of friends and family. Its great to share pics and juts keep in touch.

Well, I talk to many people face to face and have some great times with friends and family. I also have a Facebook account and find that it is a great way of communicating on-line and promoting my business programs I am involved in. I can't see the point of the games as I don't really enjoy playing computer games, but it is still a great way of making on-line friends and improving your personal presence on the web. _Derek

I think some people is relaly crazy about Facebook, they post their status when they do different things, forexample: I am going to the bathroom./I am stuck in the traffic./I am leaving my house now. etc... I just those are very silly... I live in a different state from my family and relatives so I mainly use Facebook to post my newborn baby's pictures so they can see on the internet and they can send me messages instaed of talking on the phone.

Yes, life was definitely simpler. When I was in college, to send money to me, my mother had to go to the bank, make Demand Draft, and then send that by post. On my end, I have to go to the bank to cash it. Those days are long gone. Internet really makes the world smaller. Facebook has become really great because of the number of members they have, which in turn is because of its popularity. When I first had my FB account, there was not many people I know, so not very useful for me as a way of keeping in touch. Now, with almost everyone having their FB account, I can keep track of friends that I haven't seen or spoken to in YEARS. It is great. Face to face is wonderful, if you can do it. But when you are living far away from your friends and family, that just won't be possible, will it?

Isn't Facebook a fancier, more complicated version of Mylot? And aren't both of them simply MUCH fancier method of communication than a phone call or face-to-face visit?

i do agree with you. But i also wonder myself, i am also fond of facebook..probably because i can see old friends from grade school to high school to college days and in a way we get to talk and reconnect again through facebook.. imagine if it were still snail mails,h ahaha it takes months for my letters to arrive! hahaha

Hi alin, i am not a facebooker i can say. i need it to sell something. tech is a tool for us to make our life easier. and i guess that is why people does not need to talk face to face.. it can save money and time

Facebook is a new means of communication in modern times. People no longer use to go out much to socialize. They feel more comfortable at home either because of commodity or because of lack of time. Facebook is a comfortable means of knowing new people, business, making friends and so on.

We may need facebook and other social networks to communicate with people we know and who live far away and also to make new friends,but facebook can't substitute the normal,face-to-face relationships and the friends we have in real life.I think facebook is also useful when we feel lonely and we try to find someone to communicate with online,but I definitely don't think it's indispensable.As you said,a few years ago we didn't have Internet and we lived just fine.I think it's important not to isolate ourselves into the virtual world;if we manage to do that and keep a balance betwen face to face and online communication,we'll be fine.

You might as well ask 'Why do we need automobiles? A few years before the automobile we had people who walked and drove horse-drawn carriages, and that worked just fine. (Now try getting one of THOSE onto an American highway!) Can't people walk anymore?'

face book is not only the tool for our communication now-a-days.. Its also one of the tool we are using for keeping touch with our friend around the world...

Well facebook is like a home to me. Everyday, when on internet, if i'm not on facebook I have nothing else to do. Well now i do have mylot but i just started using it. And coz im so far from home, facebook is the one place where i get to know how my childhood friends are doing back home. and it's free lol

Hi. alindobre. Facebook is here for us all so that we can connect to people that we know. It is also a great place to meet new friends and people that you want to make as your new friends. It allows others whom are far away a chance to communicate. Some people are unable to talk face to face due to time, money and distance. Facebook reminds me more of an reunion and a rekindling relationship that is in process.

thats good question... thats facebook can answer what we want.. facebook admin know that many of people still want to communicate each other but sometimes they are separated with the location and job activities.. and facebook offer the great solution for many of people

Hi, Nowadays, in the age of science and technology, use of letters and telegrams have considerably decreased. In this new era, all are addicted towards Internet. Facebook is a social networking site which enables one to chat with their friends, relatives etc. without spending even a bit amount of money and within a few seconds. The fact cannot be denied that even E-mail is an alternative, but it cannot provide the continues chatting facility which is available in Facebook. It also provide the advantage of uploading photos, videos etc. I don't think there is any other site which may provide such facilities. Myself, a user of Facebook, doesn't feel that it can cause any harm to children of a particular age limit. So, Facebook is a convenient, handy, useful and a harmless site, if used in the best way. Regards, Thank-s

not all of communication we can do face to face, sometimes we are so busy and can't meet someone. besides that, sometime, a situation is not possible to talk face to face, we are feel save and comfortable with sent a message or by text or picture to explain than meet face to face. we can find our old friend with facebook, or, we can know another friend with it. many thing we can do with facebook or other sites. just have fun with them, make them useful for us, not to hurt/ injure someone.

That is a very good question i personally also dont like facebook much it is like who have the most internet friend is the coolest but i think it is good if you use it for real friends and not [people you know from ather people and they know them from ather people.

I have it to stay in contact with family around the world. Long distant phone calls are really expensive. Plus with the different times it is had to talk with webcams.
