Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook

Actually many studies have shown that the average IQ is gradually decreasing meaning that on average younger generations are getting dumber 

I kind of tune out when people say "Facebook" and "Zuckerberg" in the same sentence anyway. I don't put much weight on things he says.

" @Vitality: I consider the popularity of shows like jersey shore proof that the younger generation is getting dumber "

" Actually many studies have shown that the average IQ is gradually decreasing meaning that on average younger generations are getting dumber  "

" @Daydream: im not saying its a solid fact im just saying that given the state of current pop culture I can find it believable(did you know Paris Hilton has fans what kind of sad pathetic life leads to some one being a Paris Hilton fan?) "

"Actually many studies have shown that the average IQ is gradually decreasing meaning that on average younger generations are getting dumber  "

"Young people should be smarter.  We should be able to learn from the generation before us and add to it.  If the younger generations are not becoming smarter...then the old generation didn't do it's job.  Older people should feel proud that younger people are smarter...after all...it would be because of them.   "

"You do know why, right? "

"LOL! I was thinking of something else as well. "

The whole 'arrogance of youth' thing springs to mind.  I maintain that Tesla was smarter at 80 than I'll ever be.. I'm okay with that.
 
Sort of related, this is a graph showing Facebook's connections throughout the world.  You can make out where the Amazon rainforest and Sahara desert in the negative space.  Also major cities.  I dunno the more I think about it, the less relevant it becomes but I thought I'd share.

I honestly believe things like facebook and twitter are a major contributor to the dumbing down of the world

"LOL This too, but I personally think that there are way too many distractions in society today. There are cell phones, TV, video games, movies, internet, etc. See what I mean? These things distract many of  us from learning and getting an education. "

As for Mark Zuckerberg he only got luckly because he made a website where you could block some people and allow some people while letting them upload images and chat. This isn't brilliant. "

suprise, Hes been named the person of the year for time magazine. Thief of the year probably. 
  
Static Shock.   
stealing codes from some other companies to create his website really makes him brilliant. He may be clever and a thief but that isn't brilliant. As I said he got lucky and becoming rich wasn't the point of topic here. 
    

It lets people that travel across the world keep in touch with their families. For instance people who go to university in different countries to their own. I know an American girl that goes to my university in England and she uses Facebook to keep in contact with her families back home in America. Show them pictures of what they're doing and chatting instantly. Instead of using the phone and costing them a lot of money. I find that a brilliant idea. I guess you're basing the "thief" name off the film. When no one troubles Bill Gates, when he stole the idea for Windows and became the richest man on the planet. It's called capitalism. Get over it.

I think twitter is pretty much ridiculous I can understand keeping in touch with friends and family  but theres no reason to tell everyone every minute detail of what you're doing I could care less when someones doing laundry 

facebook was basically just a slight variation on myspace 

"facebook was basically just a slight variation on myspace  "

" @Supreme Marvel: facebook isn't the only network. The internet already did what you mentioned. Its called a clever thief. "

"@joshmightbe said:

Way more than just a slight variation.  If you can recall...when FB was first introduced...Myspace was extremely different than it is now. They have added a lot of features that copied off of FB. "

@Supreme Marvel:
I did not know every captalistic business was based on thievery. Not even I would make such a false claim though I do claim most are thiefs. 
 

LOL.  It made him a billionaire. That's all that matters. Making a website that eventually made him rich is pretty brilliant. Ask anyone. " 
  
Anyway the only reason facebook became popular was because it was a website that had categories with a user face/image so people weren't to difficult to look around for. It is just a blogging where multi threads can be created program that let users into not allowing or allowing people into blogging similar to myspace. It does let users upload images white chatting one super feature which beats most of the competition but thats it.

 

Clever thief is another word for capitalism. So if you condemn one, you've condemn them all.
