B. Explain the following words.
Marketplace
Marketplace is one of the many functions and services that Facebook offers to its users.
Here, those who want to sell, to buy, and suchlike relating to commerce and business can easily
do the process of transaction here. It is literally just like a market, but in an online/virtual set-up.
Sellers can post their products online for the public or customers to see. Although we can see
its potential regarding effective platform in selling and buying products, it still has its drawbacks
that both sellers and buyers should always look after. Remember that before you commit to any
monetary transaction online, ensure first its validity and always process your payment
accordingly.

Facebook Groups
We interact with different types of people in social media, hence only implies that we
have different reasons on why we are chatting with someone online, maybe to have a specific
meet-up place for projects and group works, for an upcoming celebration in an important event,
or such. In technical definition, Facebook groups are made up of different Facebook users who
share the same interest or responsibility, forming a single group. Here, every member can share
their ideas and insights with the group using just a single message or post—making it
convenient to use for large amount of people.

Facebook Events
‘Facebook Events’ is a function created by Facebook to remind users on every important
upcoming event. As a user of Facebook, I must admit that this helped me a lot as I often forget
holidays and my friends’ birthdays. Certainly, it lessens the risk of possible hassles and
embarrassments of not greeting someone just because you forgot their birthdays. Also, since it
notifies you the same date it is happening, it can help you manage your schedule too—not
worrying anymore on possible occasions you may missed out.

Facebook Pages
Facebook Pages are like public profiles which commonly aim to promote something in
public. For instance, a business wants to create a platform for their products’ and services’
promotions and advertisements; such announcements will be posted in their Facebook Page to
notify their customers. Facebook Pages have assigned ‘admins’ who manage and operate the
page, since these are usually followed by hundreds or even millions of Facebook users. Overall,
a great tool to use if you want to publicize something to a lot of people.

Presence Technology
Presence Technology is one function of ICT where you can locate the presence or the
location of a certain device you want to locate or find. Global Positioning System (GPS) is an
excellent example of this as you can locate something exactly as long as you are connected to
the network. If we look at it closely, it can be advantageous or dangerous—dangerous if you will
use it the wrong way. Also, you can identify here if someone is currently online or not, which in
context has something to do with one’s presence in the online world. Currently, the concept is
widely adapted by different parts of the society, virtually, and has helped a lot of professionals in
doing their jobs efficiently.
