“What you can do with this telexistence robot is, you can see the things you usually see, even at a remote location. If you’re a physician, for example, to examine a patient, you need to extend your hands. With this system, you have hands that you can move just like your own. You can also hear what’s going on around you. Those are the first things we’ve achieved with this system. And now, as a feature of TELESAR V, we’ve added sensors that communicate what the robot’s fingers are touching, and a system to feed the touch sensation back to the operator. This technology makes it possible to operate the robot as your avatar, and feel what you’re touching, even if you’re a long distance away.”

Facebook was given 64 points out of 100. This was quite lower in comparison to the last year score. Google had scored 80/100 that was still 7 points lower than last year score.

There is decrease in the social networking site score this year. Myspace, Facebook, Wikipedia, Youtube , all these four major social media sites were hit back by the users comments and scores.

Following are the scores given by  ACSI this year :-

Google – 80

Foxnews  – 82

Bing and Wikipedia – 77

Yahoo – 76

MSNBC – 74

CNN – 73

Facebook – 64

Myspace – 63

When we see the users, there are more than 450 million users and 400 million active users on facebook social media site, but than also there is decrease in the score.

What are the reason that facebook got less ACSI socre :-

* privacy and security concerns
* the technology that controls the news feeds
* advertising
* the constant and unpredictable changes
* spam
* navigation troubles
* annoying applications with constant notifications
* functionality

Sometimes the users also want to leave facebook, but due the cyclic relation among the friend and family member, Its not possible to leave the facebook. Hope the facebook will  satify the users and make the privacy setting more elegant and powerful.
