I hope this works..?!



This interested me because Facebook's requirement user age is thirteen years old but have no true way of knowing if thats correct. A kid of any age can access Facebook if they have the knowledge on how to create one. Adults hardly grasp the concept that what they post could possibly have consequence later so young children cannot be aware or responsible of how 'public' they have made their lives till they are old enough to be held accountable. Facebook has become not only a social network but an informant and a regulator of the economy. How young is too young to receive and process this information? Why does it matter?

This has nothing to do with topic proposals but I really liked the statistics.

Is there a point to Facebook Ads?

The ad Buffalo Wild Wings is always up on my wall, Bieber Backstage, and coursesmart.com a site for college text books. I find these pointless but I think in some ways they could possibly be helpful or effective. It just depends, for example i would like to visit coursesmart.com but I have absolutely no desire to listen or watch anything to do with Justin Bieber. The ad for buffalo wild wings are funny because it is a picture of a hot wing and labeled 'buffalo wild wings'. I feel like these ads intentions were to make us more socially tied to one another but failed because noone knows they're advertising legitimate things.
