I had noticed that Facebook has started to have it's downfall in the last year or so. The first signs of Facebook having it's downfall is TOO MANY ADULTS. Adults can go on Facebook and they can use the internet,and the internet was designed for adults in the first place, but it looks like that the pre-technology era adults are taking over Facebook and other sites, and making them crusty. I don't mind grandma on Facebook but it might be an interference with what you are mainly on the site for - to see what your friends are up to. Relatives on Facebook and adults on Facebook in general basically makes the site no fun. It looks like Facebook has turned into a teen-youth orientated site to a combination of LinkedIn and Classmates.com. LinkedIn is basically serious, adult based work networking material while Classmates.com is a classs reunion. I think there is probably a revolution in the internet and I don't see Facebook revolutionizing the internet any longer.
The next thing is the increase of advertisements - whenever you like a page on Facebook, that means you are going to get shot with advertisements and propaganda. Politicians and businesses love this status update thing so they can SPAM SPAM SPAM. The interests deal has runied Facebook as well, making more garbage you don't want to read.
It looks like Facebook has turned into an empire and I have a feeling that people are going to leave the site. The internet is turning into a place for crusty adults - eventually I am going to be a crusty adult as well. Maybe that is the point, I am going to turn into these crusty adults that all they care about their offspring and taxes. Adults tend to be pains in the butt as all ages - adults tend to think they know everything and they also try to mark you down. But eventually one day I am going to be griping about KIDS KIDS and more KIDS, and I will be these crusty adults on the internet that don't like children.
I notice I am starting to get in the world where even in the classroom there are older adults and all they care about is - KIDS, TAXES, and IN LAWS. I might be in this age where I am saying "My child is so perfect and he is in volleyball" and "Oh I hate my in-laws she is a pain in the butt", and probably be bored with all the teen and college angst I am starting to put on here.
Maybe there might be an age where I am going to grow up. I thought college was all about party when I first got in there but after a few months, I had realized how boring my roommates are and I started to gripe about them. This was a time to see what my true values were - I was pretty stodgy and want to go to bed at 10:00, fit in with the crowd (I seen a definitive generation gap even at 2 years), not play any video games because I am grown up and not raised by a Playstation, and tend to be a bore to these people. But I don't care!
