Facebook. An augmented reality in itself. A social network for a means of connecting with all your friends. Learning and researching all of the positive aspects (saving someone's life, keeping in touch with your faraway friends, etc.) and all the negative aspects (games, ads, tracking our every move, etc.) made me realize all of the information about this virtual realm that i was never aware of. If i had never done this project, i wouldn't be as cautious and aware as i am now of what goes on inside this website. Facebook affects our society more than i had ever imagined. It creates jobs, affects our economy, and everyone i know has their own profile through this website. I've learned many new things and the differing opinions of many people about this alternate universe including comments from my other group members. I've questioned, learned, realized, and informed other people about Facebook. I feel like I've made my other group members aware as well, and learned from their own social networks as well. This project has been a great experience for me!
