For this exercise I went on Facebook and collected 70 of my friends' profile pictures to analyze. I decided on Facebook over other social media networks because I have the largest amount of friends on Facebook. I pasted them all onto an Excel document, and after tallying up some basic information about them, I decided that I wanted to analyze the purpose behind profile pictures. 61 out of the 70 profile pictures, or 87%, included the person behind the profile in them. This makes sense because compared to other social media platforms, Facebook is less about anonymity because it is often used to connect with people you have actually met. However, there is more to profile pictures than just showing what you look like.
