Facebook now averages 1.1 billion users a day, according quarterly results announced on Wednesday, which also revealed the company made more money on mobile advertising alone than the whole business took in during the same period last year.

The mobile ad world is growing by leaps and bounds – so quickly, in fact, that analytics firm eMarketer predicts that Facebook’s global market share will actually shrink from 38.4% to 33.7% even as its revenues increase dramatically.

This highlights the dominance that NDM is having on the world right now, it's now become normal to having a facebook page in today's society and how Facebook will always be the most popular social media site in the world with it appealing to multiple demogprahics and social media being a key part in peoples lifes.

Playing video games doesn’t make you a better person. But that’s not the point http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/nov/06/video-games-give-you-unique-experience  
Video Games have been in debate since it's mainstream existance with the Atari 2600 and mainly the older generation consistnetly say how it's a waste of time and Video Games should be banned but I disagree partly, Video Gaming is an expensive habit and as a result I don't believe in people paying for video games that they can't afford however video games is a brilliant way for people to express themselves without doing it in real life I believe it's the opposite effect that the older generation have when it comes to games when they say people replicate what they see in video games, the point of playing video games is to do things that you couldn't possibly do in real life.
