It’s quite obvious that Facebook’s demographic has shifted over time – my parents and people of their generation joined up in droves when they discovered that they can use it to get in touch with decades old friends and also to look at their children’s photos, something with each generation hides from the last.

Their prime property is ailing and dying and their only way to survive is to choke some more life out of their other properties.
I am not saying that Facebook won’t be around 10 years from now. But in what state? God knows.Loading...
