~My digital life~

I've never been a tech-savvy person but I do have a facebook app installed in my i-pod touch. I can't resist the temptation that it is so convenient to catch up with my friends and know what they are up to.

Rather than opening a browser and type the address, I can update my status anytime at anywhere with only 1 touch on the app!!!!

I think that facebook has changed the kind of person I am. I was used to be a politically apathetic person, but with numerous shares of different opinions about some hot current affairs in my facebook page, I just feel the need to know what happened and become more exposed to social issues like the national education.

 

The "like" and "share" buttons are encouraging in a way that make you feel confident as if you have posted something really worth-reading.
(Is it true? I doubt it. Sometimes, people just "habitually"/"accidentally" click the "like":p)

But what I'm sure is that Facebook has expanded my social network as it connects me with the people who have the same interests and thoughts. I can talk to them and exchange ideas on the topics we like. I can even create a group to connect all of us together and share our thoughts to a wider number of audience. This action has brought my relationship with others closer. For me, joining a group can also build up a sense of belonging to a specific community.  My secondary school friend has created a group which is against the implementation of national education in our mother school and I put my name in the group as a way to show my support for my friend's action.

Finally, I recommend "The Social Network" to all those who haven't watched it before!! I think we should not know nothing about the background of facebook when we are actually using it everyday.


P.S. YouTube is definitely one of my favorite websites because it provides me a convenient platform to learn and expand my knowledge!~

ENJOY!!! :)
