[FOOT] History of Facebook

With the release of The Social Network just this year, this article read just like the script of the movie. Drunk Zuckerberg makes a site, screws over some people on the way, and is now super important, but young and cocky. What the article fails to mention is the coming dissent of facebook, or the fact that as it has become more and more popular (and thus, powerful), it has also become a child's playground more than a professional networking site. While the original facebook was a place for college students, and older people to connect and work in a professional manner, Facebook is now a land of mindless farmville-ing and myspace immigrant scene kids taking mirror pictures. Oh, and now the middle aged people are starting to really get into it, including a lot of parents. It's all very odd, but I see nothing but the same downfall that myspace had, and other such popular sites have also experienced.

Social networking will always, in some way, be a part of our lives for years to come, but it will most likely be continually changing every few years as they expand and then retract.
