Tom is your typical teenager. When he’s not at school, he’s playing football, listening to music, out with his friends or doing his homework. But these things are not what makes Tom a typical teenager in the 21^st century. (1) ............. Like many young people in the world today it is collective communication that ties them together. The sort of collective communication provided by social networking sites, like Facebook.

Facebook: a communication revolution

But what is Facebook exactly? (2) ............. It is a world of messaging, poking, tagging and status updates and it’s one of the most popular networking sites ever. It currently has more than one billion active users worldwide!

The main feature of Facebook is the profile, which is a collection of pictures and information that each member uploads and writes. (3) ............. This is followed by a personal information section, including your taste in activities, music, television, books and movies, as well as a general interests box and an ‘about me’ space. Contact information follows and the profile concludes with education and/or career information.

A Facebook account can contain as much information about you as you want. This is what makes it so popular. (4) ............. It’s up to them.

Facebook
Positive	Negative

Someone can choose to post every movie he or she has ever enjoyed as well as their phone number, email address, home address and the names of all of their friends, family and pets – there is nothing to stop you. Many members include nothing more than their name, gender and country of residence. The important thing about this choice is that it gives the user complete control over their identity. Each member not only decides what to display to the world, but also what to keep private.

If users want, they can also join networks known as groups within Facebook. These groups can be organized by city, workplace, school, region or interests. (5) ............. For example, one of the most popular Facebook groups, with over one million members, is I Secretly Want to Punch Slow Walking People in the Back of the Head!

Users can add friends and send them messages, and they can update their personal profiles to notify friends about themselves every moment of the day. ‘I’m walking the dog’, ‘I’m off to see the new Johnny Depp film,’ are examples of status updates posted by avid Facebook users every day.

There is a downside to using Facebook though. Although you can choose to add friends, by giving them access to your profile page your information will always be out there for everyone to see. (6) ............. It will stay on Facebook forever unless you manually delete each post, picture or video yourself.
