Facebook's big influence on social life

FACEBOOK first launched services in February 2004 and the founders at the time of launching never dreamt of making such a towering impact through it on the world as a whole. Immediately after a very humble beginning, Facebook became an integral part of modern urban life. Life today can hardly be imagined without it and I hardly come across one who is not on the Facebook. I personally take great pleasure in using Facebook as I get the updates of my friends and relatives through it. It is really a matter of great fun to stay in touch with near and dear ones. Thanks to the internet that the world has now become truly borderless. Social networks like Twitter, Facebook perform an important role in influencing our lives. The information treasure of the world is now open to everyone and people have random access to the world of information which hitherto remained inaccessible. Even with a smartphone, the people can access the treasure of information if they have an internet connection with it. Many innovative entrepreneurs have got business ideas through it and have been able to start their new business ventures through the Facebook and many of them achieved considerable success with the courtesy of Facebook and turned their humble efforts into big entrepreneurship. Surely, internet has opened the floodgate of opportunities for particularly the young population of our country and I hope that they will use it for constructive purpose and move ahead.
