The World Is Obsessed With Facebook from Alex Trimpe on Vimeo.

My production team is exploring the idea whether social networking be negative or positive?  My team will interview a few couples to get there ideas and opinions.  My team will also ask people how do they think social networking is negative or positive.  My team also would like to know what are there aspects to what social networking has in store for them and some thing they dislike about Facebook.  Also, if they could change one thing about Facebook what would it be?

I also watch a film called The World is Obsessed with Facebook. This film interested me because all the data shown how the world is obsessed with Facebook.  The film shows that as of 2011 500,000,000 people are active Facebook users.  This interested me because I would never think that one social network could be so popular.  The film also stated how 48% out of 100 people from age 18 to 34 years old check Facebook as soon as they wake up.  This data shows me that there is really some thing that in or on Facebook that people just love and cant let go of it.  It also stated how 206.1 million people use the internet in the U.S.  And out of that 206.1 million people 72.19% are on Facebook.  The last thing I thought was very interesting out the whole film was that 57% of people talk more over Facebook more than real life. this was so interesting because most people live in other streets so the easy way to keep in contact is social networking.

I think that this film has informed me because Facebook is so popular and many people use it. It tells me that people must have an addiction to social networking. This film also informs me to ask more deep questions. For example did you ever get cheated on you over Facebook/social networking. I also was informed by trying to perform a heart broken lesson to the viewers to show them that Facebook/social networking has a big affect on the world.
