This article talks about how it impacts the demographics and relationship of couples. It talks about how many people will even make fake profile. It can even show men or women in skimpy outfits to get other people to like them. In the end the author shows that it does not matter the level of education and not in committed relationship. It also proved that women with higher education post more than men. Things like this can make men feel jealous and even get negative thoughts about their self. If made me question how come men do not want to post more positive things about their life. I love to post about my life and my family and I will do this even as I have a high education.

The mine point is to show the insights into a couple and the closeness and how a relationship functions. Even in the results in this article results are just preliminary it does show that people have more IOS than with Facebook IOS. So couples are more open about what is going on and other couples just do not ever post anything about the person or their family. It does prove that Facebook can cause many problems with couples. It has made me questions many things why do couples not want to share their family with their friends? Many people in my life would want to share and this shows that many people do not want to show that off.

This article had a couple of groups one was a ghost group which have an online profile on Facebook which would have no personal info on them at all. Another group our occasionally check various social media sites. They do not participate on a normal basis. The third type is ones that interactive user: they interactive and engage with other on a normal basis. The last group is intentional; social media user they try to create a strategy for engaging interactively with people. He points out that social media is more discipleship strategy. This shows that some people can put more and some people can put less into Facebook and still come out with the same thing. It still can hurt a relationship; people have to stand by what they believe in and understand that is something that makes me want to understand more.
