I notice my teenage sister using Facebook as something like an appliance: like email or SMS...it's just a little tool. When I was in highschool, it was a platform; a destination.
With un-monitized mobile apps and notifications on every device, it's just a communication tool nowadays. Instagram and Pinterest are what I notice teens using the same way I used Facebook in highschool.
So my predicion: it either becomes like Google and Email...or it dies. But nothing can bring back its coolness factor.
- freakyterrorist 14y agoExactly this. 5 years ago I would spend many hours browsing friends walls and playing games. These days I check it for 5 mins for messages and try to ignore the superfluous ads and like spam. Most of my friends have gone from having a new update every other day to updating monthly or less. Facebook will stay around as a tool but it is certainly no longer a social destination.
