Facebook has stored everything you've ever done on the site - all your old messages, statuses, pictures and your changing information.
For many people, this is a massive database of information, charting our lives since we first signed up to the social network.
Now, there's a way to quickly download all of the information onto your computer.
1. Click on settings
2. Then go to General Settings and click to download your data
You then get a zip file with all your messages, pictures, information changes and other information - like who you have friended and unfriended over the years.
It takes about ten minutes to get the email with your data, which you then download.
Facebook designed all the archived information as mini web-pages, so it's easy to read.
You even get a list of everyone you've ever poked.
Facebook also tries to recognise photographs of you, and has pictures of your face on record to use for facial recognition.
It also keeps track of your friend groups and who you are close friends with.
