Conclusion :

Social networking is not a revolution. It is been few years that it is a part of the web sphere. If we go back to the past, social networks were assimilating to chat rooms, forums, and softwares like MSN Messenger. It was simple with few risks. So, why nowadays it has such an importance for all scientists, sociologists, or philosophical. Perhaps just because it has a real impact on the actual society that it never happened. Our new social networks changed our behaviour through these websites and in the real life as well. In my opinion, Facebook was the most accurate choice for this blog. Firstly because I am a user addicted to this site, kind of a cyber drug. Secondly, maybe I am feeling concerned about how Facebook is using my personal data. And finally, what is the real impact of my profile around my friends. Through these six weeks, I learned and discovered a lot from this experience. Facebook is too important and influent to skip it. When I say it changed our behaviour in the real life, when we meet someone new, usually we say in the first sentences “Do you have a Facebook”. This reaction is weird because it sounds like, we talk but we don’t have enough time so let’s continue it online where you can check on my profile. It is kind of rude. Of course now, no one pays any attention to this behaviour. Few years before, people would have seen it inappropriate. So, our profile is the entry to the virtual world. Some scientists say that what you post on your profile, the way in which you manage it, is a reflect of yourself. This statement could be argued, because if we take the side to the other hypothesis that says that your profile is a self-idealisation. I would be agree with it, because let’s take the example of if I post a video with sexual content, it does not mean that I am a pervert, I could like the video simply because of the graphic. So I stick to this last idea, it would make false the first hypothesis. Then after our profile is on, many questions appear concerning the privacy, the surveillance, my involvement in communities, or how should I use my Facebook profile ? This social network could develop into us a lot of aspects that we would not suspect. We participate to social games, we discuss with other people who share the same interests for a same band, we add new pictures, everything sound fun and distractive. But how Facebook is using all these such important data ? no one really knows. That generates some techno-fears, and everyone suspect their “Friends” (which lost a lot of meaning). Last thing is, if one day Facebook will become a company which could rule Internet, what would happen ? Finally, there is a black point, that we forget so many times, which is : everything is linked, no matter what you do, and you never leave this digital world. It is a vicious circle.
