Today I'm totally going to talk about Facebook. The aspects of this (its)rising fame and fortune, and the rise (小停顿)in(rising) fame and fortune of s founder Mark Zuckerberg,

Mark Zuckerberg created this platform six years ago. At that time he's he created（it连音） to for the interactions of his circle of friends and Ivy League associates. But it then became an enormous, Weber 英 /sed/said英 /ˈwebsaɪt/ for social interaction being and now he has a half a million users, people instead of talking to you to each other, they now write to each other. And perhaps that is （思考拖音）true,（what） everyone wronged（wants）. And perhaps not everyone, it is used by a category of a（额） below 30 years old in the age. A category of people below 30 years old in age（停顿不足） on this website,

or you could write to each other, update your profiles, exchange photos with your friends and broadcast what you are going to do on your vacation英 /veɪˈkeɪʃn/, and also marital problems and cops（gossip）英 /ˈɡɒsɪp/ could also circulate in on aid（it）.

It was a it indeed brought a huge cultural shift the two are（改口） to us. First, instead of talking to each other, we now write to each other. And second, people are more open less and less reserved. For example, people could argue in public（额）（停顿不足） recently, I witnessed a couple sending lengthy comments on Facebook and their circle of friends have had to intervene to stop this argument. And （en ded up）they are perhaps happily. And third, （if you）a few broadcasts to watch you you have what you like and what you dislike. For example, you pull broadcasts,（结尾不清晰） your favorite book, then the next day amazon.com will send you a list of Book of books of the same almost same author. So that means if you want a certain degree of the privacy, and it's very hard, because the default settings of this platform would make this circulation wide and far.

So that is what I worry the most, but I think not many people would be bored that by this point, and they will just enjoy using need(it 连音). So perhaps in the future, instead of talking to (each other)your child that people would just write with （英 /iːtʃ/each other）the child that.

原文

I am going to talk about Facebook. And some aspects of its rising fame and fortune, Well, it's not Facebook so much that has risen in fame and fortune as the CEO, the young gentleman who founded it all six years ago, Mark Zuckerberg. He set up the site in order to allow for exchanges among his friends and Ivy League associates. And it has become absolutely enormous. It's become the website for social interaction. People don't talk anymore; they write to each other on Facebook. They send their updates, their updates on profiles, what they're going to do on holiday. They exchange photographs. And even to things like marital arguments and gossip sessions, Facebook is the way in which they communicate.

And apparently, that form of communication is now what everybody wants, perhaps not everybody. It's mainly the category of below 30 years in age. 75% of the subscribers to Facebook are younger than 30. And as I said, this is an enormously popular website, so much so that they now number half 1,000,000 subscribers. It does mark a huge cultural shift, there's no doubt. It's a different way to relate to your friends and indeed a wider circle of friends. It also means that people are much more open, perhaps less reserved.

I read recently about a couple who were exchanging very lengthy comments and turning into a big argument, whereupon other friends had to intervene between these two to put the argument to an end, finally bring it to a happy close. It seems to me strange that people would argue in public, but that's what's happening. You could, of course, broadcast to everybody your likes, your dislikes, what books you may have enjoyed reading, what films you saw recently. And that you might think would be that. But it's not just your closed circle of friends that we'll be reading about your likes and dislikes because that's not the way Facebook works, if you want a degree of privacy, so I read, it's quite hard to come by. Because the default settings on Facebook allow this information to be circulated far and wide.

And so you might say that you liked a particular book, and then lo and behold, the next day you will find Amazon.com sending you lists of other books by the same author, in other words, you don't have any privacy, the information has already gone much further than your group of friends. This is what I personally find very worrying indeed. I don't know if things will change, I know that Mark Zuckerberg had to apologize because of this privacy issue. But apparently very few people are bothered by it, so perhaps that is just the way of the future, people won’t speak anymore they’ll just talk through Facebook, thank you.
