Virtual Experiences

We are noticing that Facebook is gaining popularity not only among teenagers but adults as well. Amazing fact is that Facebook did not even exist until 2004.It was later when three college students created it to allow other students to network and meet each other, and it has caught on with young people around the world. Although it allows people to meet each other in person to communicate, to create new relationships and friendships on the same hand people are free to be someone they aren't. Peer review doesn't exist. One cannot literally touch anyone--not even by a smile, to say nothing of a handshake. No one is accountable to anyone else. Thus, Facebook is kind of a "fantasy land" where people can make up anything they want to command attention, they can live an alternative life if they choose, and no one is the wiser.
