written analysis-3

I have considered facebook as my topic in regard to the popular culture. This subject is one of the most relevant topics in this area. Youths as well as people of any age seem to get drawn towards the magnetism of facebook these days. Facebook has become such an evolution that, it has, as a matter of fact become a religion to most of the people. Almost everyone has a facebook account these days, and it stands as one of the tallest pillars in the history of mankind. However, there is either side to look upon the supremacy, the ascendancy of facebook. Yes, it has definitely made our world much narrower. It gives us the notion that we are living in a global village, a technological community. At the same time, facebook has depicted dependency among the people and portrays the fact that we are transforming into the slaves of technology, which should be otherwise actually.

Why is facebook so popular? Why do people worship facebook? Why do individuals spend hours in facebook? These are some of the questions that make us anxious. It has trimmed off our productive and potential time into something that involves chatting with buddies, updating silly statuses, poking friends unnecessarily, playing funny prediction games. These are one aspect of viewing this so called twenty-first century’s addiction. We do realize the fact that it has helped flourish social and political awareness, helped in campaigns and movements or lobbying and advocacy. There are various theories that we can associate with facebook.

Fame always comes with a price, and we all are well aware of that. Facebook has been attaining the peak of its success over the period of some years now. Yahoo, Google, MSN, these were some of the popular internet hubs some years back, but the craze to these websites have deteriorated because a much powerful web called facebook and youtube entered the frame. But the cycle of fame is such that it will  definitely land the ground after attaining the height of popularity. This is called the effect of gravity. In few years time facebook will be replaced my something mightier and grandeur.

There has been this theory that Charles’s Darwin proposed, that said “survival of the fittest’. Yes the fittest, and the strongest survives and stands out in the crowd while the weaker and the feeble ones disappear. Since facebook addressed the emotional sensitivity of an individual, that made it so popular. It stands as a hero, one that informs about the whereabouts of a family or a friend, one that keeps you in touch with the people you love, one that provokes social messages and awareness programs. These days we see a lot of celebrities being associated to facebook and other social networks. This has made laymen to get an easy access over a celebrity’s life. The association of famous people in facebook has made facebook even more famous and popular. This is also known as the cult of the celebrity.

I feel when a lot of people follow the same culture it becomes an inseparable part of their lives. But things do change, because people change and how do people change? It is because with things and people, time changes too. There is a time for everything and sometimes the time doesn’t give a fraction of its time to anything opr anybody in this universe. So in order to stand out as the tallest, one needs to challenge the time and then the time favors it in return.
