Facebook is _so_ ingrained in how we do things. I agree it's not too late to back out and return to normalcy, but in a few years it probably will be.
- moreorless 15y agoPeople functioned perfectly well before Facebook and they will function perfectly well without it. Facebook is nothing more than a tool, one that I've never used and do not plan on using. As for the 800 million more people using their network, that number is way way way inflated. They might have that many registered users, but I doubt the active users is even a quarter of that.
- toddmorey 15y agoYou are conflating facebook and the internet. That traffic would NOT return to the mail service. Remember, there was email before facebook messaging. The phone services still have major SMS traffic and push notification systems like Apple's are used to announce FB activity. I'm already finding my self moving away from FB towards dedicated services like Path, Instagram, and GMail. I'm starting to find myself using FB about once a week. Digital sharing will never go away. But I wouldn't be surprised to see Facebook one day replaced by more interesting alternative(s).
