Social media technology has transformed daily life in terms of how we communicate with one another, acquire and share news, and has even eclipsed our view of the wider world. Moreover, this cultural change has affected everyone regardless of class, age, gender, race/ethnicity, and religion. However, studying this complex phenomenon in real time is not a simple matter, as there is no well-defined framework or methodology in place. This book offers new insight into this phenomenon through an examination of adolescents' experiences with Facebook, currently the most popular social media site.
