If I had a Facebook until I was 98 years old, how many pictures would be tagged of me?
I wonder how long we will all have our Facebooks. It's hard to think we will have them our whole lives, but unless something else comes along to replace Facebook, then we just might. We will all watch each other get married, have children, and become senior citizens. My generation will watch itself grow up, and it will all be documented on the world wide web.
A Facebook page encompasses all you need to know about a person, depending on that person's privacy settings. And if my Facebook represents who I am, how will I change and grow as a person over the next 20, 50, 70 years? Will my interests be the same? Will I still be obsessed with Alfred Hitchcock movies? Or Harry Potter books? Will I still love to listen to classic rock? And will I still consider myself to be a liberal person?
Even after 5 years having a Facebook, I have looked through my photos and have found a vast change in myself. And I have seen changes in my friends too. Although the makers of Facebook most likely did not plan it to be a timeline of people's entire lives, I believe that is what it is.
