Topic: What would this decade be like?

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #16,156

Since all decades never seem to form an identity of their own until somewhere in the middle.

How would this decade differ?

You will need a Facebook account to do anything in society.

Just wait until subdermal RFID chips become popular/mandatory. They've already been approved by the FDA, my friends.

Facebook will die as quickly as it rose. Easy come easy go.

Facebook sure seems to be acquiring a lot of patents, and have definitely gained purchase in the web-wide ID field, so I don't think they'll will be completely irrelevant any time soon, unfortunately. I'd be completely unsurprised if you needed either a logged-in facebook or google account to (legitimately) access a large chuck of the web 10 years from now. For "security purposes," of course. Anonymity is being criminalized as we speak.

Patents don't mean all that much. IBM has a shit ton of patents and it has become increasingly irrelevant over the past two decades

> Myspace?
I know, I know. FB will/has already lost its chic, of course. Anywhere you're connected to the entirety of your HS graduating class, plus your parents, is axiomatically uncool. But there's the rub: Myspace was for emo scenesters who abandoned it after the fad. Facebook is the girl-next-door we've discovered ourselves married to, becoming ever more complacent and dumpy. It is the sweatpants of the internet. It is the very loss of hope. Many of us will die without having undergone that messy divorce we've dreamt of for years, simply because it's so much easier to stay.

My only hope is that they're anatomically accurate. sigh

Are their patents still in relevant technology? Obsolescence does happen.

Nah, I didn't mean it. That would suck, though.
