kristen,

Excellent article- very perceptive and i think accurate observations on future of social media.
Firslty with facebook is the annoying way that it has infiltrated areas of the internet that have practically nothing to do with it besides the need of a password / also there is messanger which is in its own right turning into the ‘mirc’ of web 2.0 mirc first steps of socializing at school/ messager – teenage friends you go to movies with / tinder immaturely date on looks alone

whats next, i can only imagine marriages are not going to last.

pokemon go and ingress- these sort of flourished and burnt out quick

we have whole generations of kids and adults who play many games, the games like pokemon have to scarily intigrate properly with ppls life.

i think, if money or currency is a available to be earnt on a pokemon go or
ingress like format it could be the new form of work.

You had me until Pokemon Go. Granted, I have the luxury of existing in May 2017.

It’s not going to be another technology that eliminates FB, twitter linkedin. I closed all my accounts for the very reasons you mentioned here. I was perpetually pissed off and had a disingenuous engagement with reality. The constant bombardment of foolishness did me in. And I was contributing to it!

We are growing out of it. Social media has become a congregation spot for stupid people. I am trying not to say that condescendingly but I don’t think you can. I cringe at most comment sections and am looking for a space to truly collaborate on the issues we have. I guess we will have to wait on Elon’s neural lace.

I was on FaceBook for 5 years. I’ve noticed more and more stupidity, bullying, racial slurs, threats and outright hate.
I’ve seen atheists flock to so many Christian sites just to mock Christians, call them stupid and then try to claim the Christians were forcing their beliefs down their throats. It made no sense.
I’ve seen vegan nazis purposely go to hunting sites and other sites they know are pro meat just to tell them to stop showing meat on their page. It’s beyond ridiculous.
And, I can’t count the number of times I’ve seen brainless, immature brats tell others to kill themselves just because they didn’t agree with them or had a disability.
It’s like they were more important, their rights are all that mattered and if you didn’t agree, you were a bigot and hater.
I just got fed up with all the idiotic stuff on FaceBook. I wasn’t about to be PC and a lot of spineless people can’t stand that.
I said I will not powder their bottons and they should go change their Huggies.
I deleted my FaceBook account in October.
I never felt better.
I refuse to create accounts for any more social pages like Instagram.
Many people feel brave enough to act stupid and hateful when they can give a fake name and avatar. But, in real life, they are the biggest wimps.
Really, who needs that crap?

You use question marks in your writing far more often than is necessary, to the point where they lose their effect and become annoying to the (at least myself) reader.

Facebook is dead to me anyways, the only reason I still have an account is to keep in touch with one or two people and it’s where all my old school people I used to know that never talk to me. Hmmm… What’s the point of having it again?
Myself and my family were the subject of a rant, apart from being unpleasant to see it was useful to see what people think. They forget, you can see pretty much anything if someone tells you it’s there.

Wow! Everyone loved your article! Congratulations!
As far as I go, I am really enjoying Facebook. I am a member of Facebook groups that help me promote my blog posts. I really value their support. I’ve made some good friends that way too.
As far as my other connections, it is a great way to stay in touch with them .
