Facebook not exactly "new tech," but ever changing and dare I say....evolving
....need I explain what it is or what it does? I think not.
I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I don't think it's the best application that there could be for social media, but you gotta go where the people are since it doesn't make sense to be involved in social media that none of your connections are on.
I resisted for a while, but so many of my friends and people I was meeting around the world were Facebooking that I realized if I wanted to keep in touch I would have to give in. I admit that there are some features that I really like. It's super easy to send messages, links, photos and other digital sharing which is very convenient. It allows for a sort of virtual catching up with friends I haven't seen for a while. Also, since many of my friends have children now I am able to see recent photos and updates even when they live far away. I really don't care much for the Facebook ethics with regard to privacy, but since that hasn't had a significant impact on my life - WTH...guess I'm sticking with it...
It will be interesting to see if Facebook endures or if some other social media ends up taking over in the future. Personally, I think it would take a lot to get millions of people to switch since most people are fairly comfortable with it and don't like to learn new interface when they don't really have to.
