Facebook

Facebook is a social media platform founded by Mark Zuckerberg, along with his college roommates Andrew McCollum, Eduardo Saverin, Chris Hughes, and Dustin Moskovitz. It was launched on February 4, 2004, initially as a website exclusively for Harvard University students, but it quickly expanded to other universities and eventually opened to the general public.

Facebook allows users to create profiles, connect with friends and family, share updates, photos, videos, and links, and engage with content posted by others through likes, comments, and shares📞☎. Over the years, it has become one of the most popular and influential social networking sites in the world.

Key features of Facebook include:

1. News Feed: The central feature of Facebook where users see updates and posts from friends, pages they follow, and sponsored content.

2. Timeline: A user's personal profile page that displays their posts, photos, and other activity in chronological order.

8. "wow,😮" "sad,"😞 and "angry."😡

9. Facebook has also acquired several other popular apps and platforms over the years, including Instagram and WhatsApp, making it a major player in the tech industry.

   However, Facebook has faced its share of controversies, including issues related to user privacy, data breaches, misinformation, and the spread of harmful content. As a result, the company has been under scrutiny and has made efforts to address these concerns. Please note that my knowledge is up to date only until September 2021, and there may have been further developments or changes related to Facebook since then.

 Freelancing

Freelancing refers to a type of work arrangement where individuals, known as freelancers, offer their services on a temporary basis to clients or companies. Instead of being employed by a single employer, freelancers work independently, often on a project-by-project basis or for a specific period of time. They are self-employed and have the flexibility to choose their clients, projects, and working hours.

Tea

 Tea is an aromatic beverage prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured or fresh leaves of Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub native to East Asia which probably originated in the borderlands of southwestern China and northern Myanmar.^[3][4][5] Tea is also made, but rarely, from the leaves of Camellia taliensis.^[6][7][8] After plain water, tea is the most widely consumed drink in the world.^[9] There are many different types of tea; some have a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour,^[10] while others have profiles that include sweet, nutty, floral, or grassy notes. Tea has a stimulating effect in humans primarily due to its caffeine content.^[11]

An early credible record of tea drinking dates to the third century AD, in a medical text written by Chinese physician Hua Tuo.^[12] It was popularised as a recreational drink during the Chinese Tang dynasty, and tea drinking subsequently spread to other East Asian countries. Portuguese priests and merchants introduced it to Europe during the 16th century.^[13] During the 17th century, drinking tea became fashionable among the English, who started to plant tea on a large scale in British India.

The term herbal tea refers to drinks not made from Camellia sinensis. They are the infusions of fruit, leaves, or other plant parts, such as steeps of rosehip, chamomile, or rooibos. These may be called tisanes or herbal infusions to prevent confusion with tea made from the tea plant.
