Facebook is a social network that connects thousands and thousands of people. I think that Mark Zuckerberg had an ingenious idea to create this social network. I do believe that facebook is very useful. Personally, facebook helped me to stay in touch with all my friends and family all over the world. It is amazing to have news from them, play online games, see their favourite groups and causes, and also see their photos every day. Facebook is very practical and easy to use, all what we need is to be connected to internet. Facebook has not only positive sides, it has also negative ones. I think that the main problem with this social network is the fact that it will create a new disease which will be called facebook addiction

The new technology facilitates a lot of tasks to human beings, but there are some items that do not need to be replaced. The electronic book is one of the innovations that I believe people are not ready to adopt. Books have been our best friend since centuries, so why doest it have to change now? The ideas are not the only connection between the righter and the reader, but also the physical contact is important too. Moreover if books disappear, a lot of habits that people use to enjoy will disappear also. Readers are not the only ones that will be missing the books, but also the libraries and stores will suffer from it. So why depriving people of a pleasure that they like?

Old newspapers in a digital age

Google came out with a wonderful idea, with the help of the technology; they will bring to life old newspapers that date from the pre-digital age. The reader will have the sensation of reading this newspaper as it was printed, and as facts were reported at the time. Also, it is just fabulous to have access to real newspaper or a section in a newspaper by a simple click. It is true that nowadays it is easy to access information, but sometimes we can not find some specific interviews or specific information because we don not have access to the source. And finally, as Pierre Little said in the article, it is time to access information that was an asset of the organizations for a long time.
