“Augh! My paper that I spent an hour writing is GONE!”
“Relax. Let me see if there’s a saved copy of it. Were you using Word?”
“I was typing it up on facebook.”
“Facebook? You were writing a school paper on facebook?”
“Yes.”
“Open up something other than facebook and start over.”
“Did you see the links to colleges with art programs that I sent you?”
“No. Where did you send it?”
“It’s in an e-mail.”
“I never check e-mail. Send it to my facebook.”
It is true… Facebook is the new AOL.
Proprietary Mail System… Check
Companies promoting their Fanpages rather than their own Sites (old days AOL Keyword: MyPage now facebook.com/mypage)… check.
Walled garden that people mistake for the Internet… Check.
Yup, it is true Facebook is the new AOL… but I can’t imagine anybody writing a paper in Facebook!! Yikes!!
