- tomasien 13y agoYou're probably basing your opinion that FB may die by 2018 on better insights than they were basing the study on honestly.
- dsugarman 13y agowell not necessarily die by 2018, just the fact that social media is mostly moving fads. everyone wants to be the social network that high school and college girls post their vacation photos to, if you are that then you will likely be somewhat relevant for the lifetime of these girls.
- coliveira 13y agoOr maybe it's the opposite: if a teenager has an account with lots of pictures, he/she will probably want to kill that account as soon as they get to adult life to avoid awkward moments. I think this explains why many young kids are leaving FB.
- ballard 13y agoThe bigger issue is kids don't want to use the uncool social networks their parents use. Secondarily, that might come into play later as an afterthought.
- jrs99 13y agowhat the heck is "real" science? A lot of the greatest science started the same exact way. Making connections that nobody else could see. Finding purposefully playful, surprising analogies. Doing things so ludicrous that everyone said would not work. Exploring ideas and sharing them.
