I retrieved this article from the UAA/ APU database, and this article talks about how Facebook can make people happy. In 2004, Facebook became one of the world's leading social networking sites. A study showed that college-age students spends about 28 minutes per day on Facebook. In the article, it says that friends are an important source of emotional and practical support and therefore it is considered a key element of happiness. However though, the friends someone has on their Facebook does not require strong attachment or close attachments therefore the number of Facebook has positive effects on one's subjective well-being. The purpose of this article is to show the goodness of Facebook, and the impacts it has on people. The author of this article, Kim and Lee, obtained these information from a lot of online resources: one of those resources includes Mark Zucberburg's (the creator of Facebook) online blog. The useful of this article is very important to Social Media because Facebook has become widely used to stay connected with family members, friends from far away, and people in the same community. People log onto their Facebook accounts more than once each day to stay connected and updates as much as possible.
