The Facebook Dilemma: Brad Parscale

While reading “Facebook isn’t making us Lonely” and “Is Facebook making us lonely?” I found a lot that I could compare. This topic has came up a lot in my life because I guess you could say that, I grew up with Facebook. Over the years I have watched Facebook develop into this huge social platform and I have seen the good and the bad side of it. The good side of Facebook is that you can stay connected with people as far around the world as you would like. That was the main focus on Facebook when it first came out, was to stay connected but now you can do so much as send out invitations and sell items on it. There was an example from Marche and he wrote “When the telephone arrived, people stopped knocking on their neighbors’ doors.” I agree with this statement but then Fischer replied with “When the telephone arrived, people didn’t stop knocking on their neighbors’ doors; they called and then knocked,” which is also true. It’s practically saying that once Facebook became a thing people no longer call and people no longer knock on the door and I agree with that. It is hard to decide if Facebook is making us lonely or if it isn’t because sometimes I do think that it can make you lonely, but are you actually lonely when you are on the web, isn’t it your choice?
