When Mark Zuckerberg was named person of the year for 2010 by Time magazine, it reflected the impact that Facebook is having on our society.
As a 19-year-old sophomore at Harvard, Zuckerberg started a web service that was billed as ‘an online directory that connects people through social networks at colleges’. The idea was to reflect the kinds of interactions students may have with one another. In 2010, one out of every dozen people on the planet had a Facebook account.
So what? Why worry about it, and whether our teenagers are on the site or not? Is this not something that teenagers do, and that will go away as they grow up?
