The beginning fo the end for Facebook

Millennial Generation’s Web Dominance On The Decline , Pew Study Says

The fastest growth on social networking sites like Facebook has come from the G.I. generation, those aged 74 or older

Facebook’s bet is to make the new generations getting online now, feel as excited about Facebook as the current generation are. However, this will not happen. It is all a game of perception. Facebook stops being cool when your mum, let alone your “grand-dad” is there.
Also, this world craves novelty. Not only will Facebook in a few years time (as short as 2?!) become less innovative, but they’ll be approaching what I call “brand fatigue”: just plain boredom with their design and image, based on having seen them so much. It is my personal theory that the new generations need less time to experience this phenomena than any of the previous ones.
