Facebook: Exploiting Loneliness and the Fear of Being Alone

On 4th February 2004, Mark Zuckerberg and her friends launched a social networking site called Facebook. It was made for college students, especially "only for the people of Harvard University of the University", Zuckerberg said in the Time magazine article "The Future of Facebook". "We can advertise it to all universities, all high schools, and some companies can apply, and now everyone can apply." Just ten months after launch, Facebook has reached one million users. According to the statistics posted at newsroom.fb.com, Facebook will have an average of more than 7,770,000 users a day after 10 years.

I always felt that loneliness was emotion and solitude was a state of existence. Maybe I am right, I am not sure. "There is a difference between loneliness and loneliness, loneliness is a state of mind, emptiness makes it feel sad, sometimes it is hopeless, even though we are in the crowd, we are lonely It is so difficult to feel loneliness when I am surrounded by people, so it is hard work alone, so much more physical or physical
