Social Networking Sites today have become such a huge part of our culture that it’s no surprise kids too would want to connect with their friends via social networks. But you know these sites are not appropriate (or even safe) for your child, whether he be 5 years old or 12 as they contain content not supposed to be suitable for children. So today’s biggies in social networking have set the minimum eligibility age to 13, 14, 16 or even 18 years. But when you see the world today, everything is computerized, so why deprive your child from getting a feel of the connected world; why deprive him/her from being introduced to the web.

Facebook has always been your online identity. Strangers have known you and even judged you by looking at your Facebook profile. Today, as you decide to spend more time chatting with friends and posting updates, even your parents, teachers and real life peers judge you by the look and feel of your Facebook profile. You chat with befriended strangers on Facebook, you post weird updates about your late night hangout, you upload photos dating the girl next door and so on. You do not care to keep your profile clean because you feel you are independent and have all right to enjoy your life. That is absolutely true but one thing you need to remember seriously is that you should have a clean Facebook profile whenever you apply for a job because these days a majority of the applicants are being rejected because their employers find their profile on a real mess. Do you think you will get a job if you upload your drunk photos with a bear can in your hand, and what if you post updates bullying your former boss who fired you for coming late to work.

In its 8-year presence, Facebook has seen all heights; the height of Social Networking, the height of innovation and the height of imagination. And this post focuses on the imagination aspect of Facebook. Let us make it simple; how the Facebook status updates would have been if it was launched, say exactly 100 years before its actual launch on February 4, 1904 instead of February 4, 2004. What if Facebook was there when the Titanic sank, what if it was there when Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany, what if it was there when India achieved independence, what if it was there when man first reached the moon and what if it was there when Facebook itself was being created?
