I wont for two reasons: Never gonna have kids, never use facebook

I'm considering stopping, whenever you upload anything to their site the say you are giving up your copyright and giving it to them.

The later for me.

Mate. Facebook is going to look ancient within a few years. Hell, these blogs are going to look ancient in a few years.



I've seen the future.

Jebbie, I'm doing a shit tone of research about the internet for my dissatation and honnestly? for the forseeable future everythings going to be web based.



Traditional tv channels are loosing audinces because they havent been able to fully embrace our generation who use the internet as part of our day to day life. The amount of time we spend on the internet means that tv channels are dieing because the internet is taking advertising away.



by 2010, the amount of web based adverts in the uk will surpass tv based ads.



tv channels are trying to fight this by launching Iplayers that will cut out new media start ups, but the internet start ups are naturally fighting this.



we'll also be watching tv on something thats more like a computer than a tv. We'll be streaming tv shows, this isnt just fiction, the majority of new tvs can be used as computer monitors and some company's have released whole computers designed to plug into the tv and sit in your living room.



As for buying electronics all the evidence so far suggests that we'll just buy them off the internet because they can undercut any company that operates a store.



About the only things that will survive on the high street, is food, coffee and clothes.



There will be new stuff invented Jebbie, but its going to be web based.

Don't use social networking sites. Must be socially inept.



I agree with you about everything being web based. You only have to look at my work (periodials) to see that many titles are now electronic only. I do however think that people will get bored with posting shit about their lives online. People are becoming more and more afraid of big brother (or is that just me). I wouldn't want my kids whole life online for any peado to see, but then I don't have kids and probably never will.



Also, taking photographs at funerals is wrong. People should be aloowed to grieve without fear of a snotty nosed shot appearing online.

I already have bionic teeth. Like normal teeth, but cost $500.

I shall never get married, and if I did I most certainly wouldn't put my prized photos on facebook. I can't be the only one.

Yes!

facebook NEVERRRR

Johnny Vegas sold his wedding photos to Viz for a quid

I haven't read the Viz for years! Now I love Johnny Vegas even more.

yeah, i don't think facebook is going to be around for 80 years... think of all the advances in the internet in the past 10 years, all the trends, whatever. dot.com used to be the shit, but now who talks about it? america online? there may be social networking, but it may be so universal and evolved that facebook probably wouldn't be king.



i mean, there may be photo documentation through varying sites during one's lifespan, but it'd be unlikely that they'd all be cohesively on one site.



i still predict holograms for the future

in 2010 I will be the internet, and people will post their pictures on me.

people who take pictures at funerals are just strange in my book.

you're not getting married, Bramish?



...but i just bought a new hat :(

King Louie is dead???????

am i supposed to be laughing at those pics sonmi?



it doesnt seem right of me.



but.... i cant stop.

I was thinking that when I have children, I should do the 365 thing for them and take a picture every single day, because they grow up so fast and all. That's a real difference between now and when I was born, that you can actually take a picture of yourself every single day and store them and view them without paying for film and printing. Physical photo albums jump from special occasion to special occasion, 24 photos at a time. Digital and camera phones mean our whole lives are being documented in ways they weren't in the past. Not only are our weddings on Facebook but all sorts of other occasions like Saturday night at the pub, our eleventh date, Jenny's going-away party and that time I saw a sign with my name on it, or your name on it OMG I just had to show you and prove I was really there. This will continue to be the case regardless of what rises up in Facebook's place (remember that a year or so ago we'd have been saying MySpace). Also, storage capacities will get better so we can better archive our stuff in the one place (though photo quality and hence size will probably keep going up too). My photos are all over the place on CDs and hard drives as well as being physically printed. In the future, my kids could potentially archive their lives all in one place, though I doubt they'd really want to. They'd probably hate certain photos and certain eras of their lives and not really want to display them all the time, preferring instead to store them away in whatever the future digital equivalent of a shoebox in the back of their wardrobe is. But it is kind of cool.

365 days for kids would be fab!

i've gone from photobucket to livejournal to flickr so far with my son, so i doubt facebook will be from beginning to end



also, i have a few public photos of him, but mostly keep it only available for friends and family if i know how



i never considered it odd to make the pictures available to anyone until i realized i might be putting him into danger, so now i'm a lot pickier



i hope that he doesn't mind what has been shared so far

also, i used to have a photobook of myself and my childhood photos but it has long been lost. it hurts my heart. i used to spend hours looking at b&w pictures of my parents, and now i can't share that same experience w/ my kid. heck, i can't even look back and laugh at what a dork i was it what outfit/hairdo. i don't ever want to do that to my kid.

i think itll be neat when we're all sitting in hovering rocking chairs saying "remember the internet?"



cause by that time, we'll have the outercage

w/in the next two years they are getting rid of the internet as we know it, so you're probably spot-0n there

hahaha outercage



i have had so many websites in the past that have just disappeared because the business went over. i don't know if anyone remembers the hosting site "XOOM", but when it first came around in like... 98? it was the hottest new website host. but then it got bought out by msnbc and became something entirely different, so i lost all my sites hosted under it.



one thing i do have is full documentation of when my late pet rats were born (my initial surprise, pix, etc) back in 2005, stuff that happened while they were alive, and then ultimately, news of their death (a few weeks ago), all within my livejournal. i think this is pretty neat... it was within a span of over three years. what's more intriguing is that people reading my journal were around originally when the rats were born, so they sent condolences when discovering they had passed on.
