I'm a teenager in the UK and Facebook has most certainly not died. it seems to me that people do use it less now but that may just be due to growing up (no more farmville etc.). However, Facebook is still heavily used for setting up events, sharing photos, and messaging people. The reason why facebook is so good at all of these things? Because everyone has Facebook. If I need to ask a friend something, There are several ways to ask them:
- Text: Might not have their number, have to pay, it's only available on their phone, not on their computer
- WhatsApp (or similar): They may not have it, I may not be their contact, only available on their phones
- SnapChat: Hard to hold a conversation with someone
- Instagram: Great for sharing photos, not for communicating
- Facebook: Am Friends with everyone I will need to contact. Easy to use. They receive it on their phone and computer (more likely to see it sooner). Free.
Facebook may lose some interest from people but I'm sure it will be around for a long time, at least until the large majority of people have moved to another platform where they can communicate
- hgh 13y agoI find it pretty interesting that email isn't even an option in that list.
- AlecSchueler 13y agoI've only ever sent maybe three or four social emails. Email is only for signing up to things, sending a CV or printing boarding passes etc.
- edh649 13y agoOpps, Forgot that: that's how irrelevant it's become. Email is just for signing up for things and for 'professional' communication (e.g. job offers, work placements, to teachers etc.). I think I only have about 5 of my friends email addresses, mainly just because sometimes I'll need to CC them into something.
