Nowadays, Facebook is the most popular social media which helps to connect people. Not only
adults but also teenagers are using Facebook. There are many ways to communicate on Facebook.
You can post messages to the public or to your friends. If you want a private conversation, you can
send a direct message to a friend and start chatting. If you want to meet new people with same
interests, you can join in Facebook groups or Facebook pages.
When friends and family members move to a different place or even different country,
Facebook can help you keep in touch. In addition to communicating directly through posting and
messaging, you can play games with them, making them seem closer despite the distance.
Facebook can also help reduce or eliminate the barriers to meet new people. For example, if
you feel nervous about asking someone in class about a homework assignment, you may feel more
comfortable sending messages to that person on Facebook. That way, you can think over what you
write and can avoid any embarrassment in face-to-face meeting. That's the reason why shy people
spend more time on Facebook than sociable people.
