How Facebook is Changing the World

More than twenty years ago, we hadn't yet heard or even knew what the Internet was. The internet back in those days was mainly used by big institutions such as the government and universities. Now, the Internet is part of our daily lives. We use it to pay our utility bills and catch up with friends on Facebook.

Facebook is an extremely popular website that allows users to contact and look at other people's status. It has become so popular that it is now considered to be one of the most visited websites in the world today.

Here are five things why Facebook is changing the world:

1. There are more users of Facebook than any other social media website - although Twitter is catching up fast.

2. It can be used to organize events quickly, cheaply and to more people compared to any other methods.

3. Facebook can be read by many languages like Chinese, Persian, Italian, etc.

4. Workplaces and educational institutions now uses Facebook to distribute training materials.

5. Major companies can directly communicate to their customers and provide instantaneous feedback. These same companies can also collect data that cannot easily be done offline. For example, most people are reluctant to pick up the phone and complain about their services. However, on Facebook, people can just type what they feel online immediately without having to dial the phone number. In the meantime, companies can also promote their services that are custom made for the them. For instance, you can offer free rock concert tickets to a teenager or if they're middle age, free opera tickets.
