2. Facebook Background Information
• Social networking site
• Allows for communication through various
utilities
• Created by Mark Zuckerburg “from his
Harvard dorm room”
• Used primarily by young people
• More than 350 million active users

3. Culture Lost
• Facebook (and other
E-communication
tools) have led to a
loss of verbal
communication,
physical activity, and
social activity
• We could benefit from
USING FACEBOOK LESS

4. E-Communication
• Verbal
communication is
not required
• Communication has
become far less
personal
• Communication has
become shorter, less
informative

5. Physical Activity
• 320,833,333 hours
every day spent
worldwide on
Facebook
• Facebook requires
virtually no physical
activity
• Obesity rates are sky-
high in America now

6. Community/Social Activity
• 320,833,333 hours
• Time spent on Facebook could be spent with
family or friends, or used for community/global
service activities
• Newsweek article: “When I...imagine the good I
could have done instead, it depresses me”
• Some may use groups such as “We Will Donate
$1.00 to Haiti for Every Person That Joins” as
justification to stay on Facebook

7. In Conclusion...
• Facebook has led to a loss of culture and a
decrease in social communication
• Incredible amount of time spent on Facebook
worldwide every day.
• Time could be put to better use
• WE SHOULD DECREASE THE TIME WE
SPEND ON FACEBOOK
