Mohammed Dhaifallah-Summary of video "Facebook: Friends (and Moms) Without Borders"

The reason that makes this mother to use facebook is a call from her friend that told her she has a facebook account and she was looking for the high school friend. Moreover, finding a lost friend creates what is called "aha". It also used when you know new things that make you surprised. Additionally, facebook is designed to gain a person as soon as possible. Also, there are many institutions activities in facebook which makes thousands of people be parts of it.


However, I will link the information from this video to the article named "With friends like these ..." written by Tom Hodgkinson.By looking on the point of how the mother start using facebook is an example of a theory of human behavior by René Girard called "mimetic desire". According to Girard "people are essentially sheep-like and will copy one another without much reflection". Moreover, human beings love to be with flocks. In addition, I did not have account of facebook until last year. All my friends have an account, so that I created an account to be like them.
Moreover, the second point I want to talk about is when a person fiends maybe these friends only has an account but they stopped using it, which is called "ghost accounts"
Finally the last point is that the activities of the institutions are made because of advertising and well-funded project.
This video talks about shallow thing about facebook that children and non educated people know this information. It did not show the other side of disadvantages about it.
