IntroductionFacebook is such a platform that is used by everyone in this class.

We kept contact with our respected course instructor, mam Ms. Michelle Draper all the semester long.

We express our thoughts and lifestyles through uploading pictures.

My research emphasizes on their perception of changing their pictures frequently and the time they change them.

Major Findings■ Most Facebook users think their profile photos actually

represent their themselves to some extent.

■ They also change their profile pictures so frequently to show

their lifestyle or various happenings.

form do their peers or other social circles accepts them more.

Hypothesis: Proved Right

limitations

■ Many respondents gave one answer in the survey and

a totally different answer when asked personally.

■ I came up with this topic seeing my friends and I

surveyed people in my Facebook friends-list, so the

answers might be biased.

■ The most obvious questions never gets asked!

■ I personally change profile pictures often, so the

questions might reflect my own thoughts.
