I would like to revise my Lens essay. I feel like my exhibit (Facebook) raises a lot of questions and has a lot of opposition surrounding it. My goal is to show how beneficial Facebook actually is. I plan to cover the future of Facebook, regarding its use in the future. More specifically, does Facebook have the ability to drastically change the economy and society for the better, and become a a primary benefactor? Also, has the upbringing of Facebook improved our economy and society since it was first created? In my Lens essay, I used the cognitive surplus as a lens to kind of show how tapping our free time and using it to come together to communicate ideas has benefited individuals as well as the economy to an extent, creating jobs. In my research essay, I want to dive more into the past or the few years right before Facebook came about. I am doing this to see how society/the economy was then, and then look at it from 2004(when Facebook first started) to now. Most importantly, I will take a look into the future and use statistics from past/present to help determine how much of an impact Facebook will have in a few years. I will look at sources that include statistics showing things like a change in unemployment before and after the creation of Facebook. Moreover, I will look for sources that show maybe a correlation between the creation of Facebook and technological advancements, because I believe that Facebook has positively impacted us and I want to prove this.
