Over the past decade, the social media on the internet has been extremely developed, frequently discussed and used. Sites like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter are now very popular and well known over the whole world. It is now easier to communicate to each other over the internet and especially people in a young age are the loyal users. Some of these people spend a lot of time and almost every day being online on Facebook. Just a year ago, studies showed that Facebook have:
More than 750 million active users50% of our active users log on to Facebook in any given dayAn average user has 130 friendsFacebook-users spend more than 700 billion minutes per month on Facebook all together So is being a facebook-user a bad thing for you and your mental health? Other studies have found a link between social media and socially disruptive narcissism. People that showed signs on a narcissistic personality, had more friends and have updated their statuses on Facebook more often. Actually Facebook and Twitter have been criticized for being the 'tool' to make it easier to bully people.

All the events that are being created every day is a very useful ability. It's designed to remind you what you are invited to but it's primarily used as a 'selection menu' for what the most important event is, and to know where the events are located. Imagine that you would celebrate something and you would invite your friends over for barbeque the next Sunday. So you're thinking you should create your own event. Facebook basically help people together.
