Twitter

One question that I often ask my self is when will Twitter become a thing of the past? As more and more people join I can't help but feel like at some point it will become yet another Facebook or MySpace. Virtual words that gain rapid popularity and are around for a minute then quickly go extinct. I'm in no way trying to imply that Facebook is in any way "extinct" but if you just go around the halls of Kennedy and ask kids if they still use Facebook I would be willing to bet you that a majority of the kids here no longer either have a Facebook or actually log onto Facebook less than once a month. I think some of the reasons less and less kids are on Facebook is because of adults. As bad as it sounds a lot of kids got on Facebook as a way to be away from their parents and socialize with their friends without constant supervision. And as more and more parents caught on to this and started making Facebook's of their own more and more kids felt as though they were under constant supervision and scrutiny for the thing's they posted. I just wany to be clear that I am in no way condoning posting dumb things to social media and I'm fully aware of the repercussions of things that can happen. But as teens we have some type of desire to make our own decisions and say what is truly on our minds without dealing with our parents. What I am getting at is that I truly believe as more and more parents begin to join Twitter and look more and more into what their kids are posting less and less kids will use Twitter. My prediction is that at some point within the next years Twitter will be just like Facebook in that a majority of young people will no longer use it. The big question is what will the new social media frenzy be over? Will some new website or app become wildly popular just like Facebook and Twitter and what will this new site contain? If I were somehow able to come up with a new source for people to spend countless hours reading through people's ideas, thoughts, and goals I could make millions. I just really need one good idea that could spark a revolution. (400)
