faceSchuch has changed the world.
It has eliminated the need for photo albums. Why print your pictures and set them in a book in your house for no one to see when you can post them on your faceSchuch for all your friends and family to see?
It has eliminated the need for reunions, this last June marked the 5 year anniversary of graduation for the class of 2006. As vice president of my class in high school a few officers attempted to organize a reunion. We exchanged pleasantries then the reunion that was to be never happened. Why? Because why would anyone want to go to a class reunion when they can simply look on your faceSchuch page and get all the information about your life they could possibly want? It has killed electronic mail, instant messenger programs, myspace, and many more to come.
It has eliminated the 'blind date' anytime a friend has a friend they want you to meet the very first thing you ask is “let me see their faceSchuch page” (which reminds me of how less and less creepy Internet dating is being perceived in society)
faceSchuch is eternal.
Obviously there are two sides to every coin so this is both a good and a bad thing.
If you think short term faceSchuch being eternal probably isn't the best thing since employers can look on there and slightly further down the road (depending how far on the road you are) your children may see/read somethings that could compromise your authority in the household.
But if you think long term faceSchuch will be a HUGE resource for generations to come. Archaeologists will have their work cut out for them. (which could be another thing to add to the faceSchuch killed list) faceSchuch will be a window into the past people from the future will be able to see everything about our culture since everyone posts everything. In the past only the powerful were remembered but now everyone has the opportunity to leave their mark on earth. Think about how faceSchuch has the ability to link your relatives. If we continue that thinking everyone will be able to trace their family trees back to at the very least 2004! how incredible would that be to not just see the name of your ancestor but also what their favorite TV shows were and all of their worthless status updates! Or read the very first wall post your great grandfather sent hitting on your great grandmother?
I don't think we realize exactly what we are doing every time we post something on faceSchuch. Sure we know that everyone can see it and to think twice before pressing send but can you honestly say that you know how your page will affect/effect the world 500 years from now? (granted the world doesn't end in October)
Facebook is on its way out. Google+ is going to take over. It's facebook but refined...and your parents aren't on it. People want the newest and best thing. Friendster and Myspace used to be popular before facebook...the end of an empire is coming.
ReplyDeleteGoogle+ don't you mean Google Buzz? ...Been their failed that. Do some reading.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you mentioned that, Anonymous #2. G+ has attracted over 10 million users in two weeks for its trial run (invite only). Something tells me Facebook didn't have that within two weeks.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, your improper use of "their" instead of "there" leads me to believe that you should not only do some reading, but you should also take an English/Grammar class.
Sincerely,

Anonymous #1,3 - Obviously judging your stat about 10 million users in two weeks and the change from calling it Google+ to simply G+ leads me to believe that you read the wiki page on Goolge+ (G+) much like I just finished doing. My question to you is this: "Zookeeper had a weekend gross of $20,065,617 last week. Does that mean that every weekend it will continue to rake in $20,065,617?" Obviously the new car smell will go away from G+ (Google Plus) and it will eventually become Google-.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous #2 - Google Buzz did fail horribly but so did Android phones it wasn't until they revamped and called them 'droid' that they starting catching on. does this mean G+ will take down faceSchuch... probably not. Does this mean a lot of people will have at least both a faceSchuch and a G+...probably.
Bottom line is no one is taking down faceSchuch because believe it or not grandparents and parents make up the majority of the world's population and the fact that they all figured out how to get on faceSchuch was a miracle and lightning will not strike twice. However I'm sure younger generations will enjoy G+ (as I predicted in my April 2010 post

That's an asinine question. Obviously it won't rake in 20 mil a week. All I'm saying is that Google has added some appealing features that Facebook does not have. Mark my word, it will become the next big thing. Who would have thought that Twitter would become so popular? Oh and I see what you did there by inserting your last name in place of "book". That's very clever, how's that working for ya?
ReplyDeletefaceSchuch = 750 million active users
ReplyDeletetwitter = 175 million accounts have been open during it's history.
your word will be marked although "next big thing" from an anonymous person might be the weakest work marking ever...
you have asked me to mark your words with an abstract term and an anonymous name.
but make no mistake your word has been marked.
