The Most Important Assets you Lose when you're over 30

The class of 2007 absolutely will get bored with Facebook - I know many members of it that got bored with MySpace before it, and LiveJournal before that, and Xanga before that.

But in the process, they will have explored every feature of it, added dozens of third-party apps, started using it in ways the developers never intended, and possibly created a few competitors.

The point of the article, as I understood it, was to not let "But it'll be obsolete in five years!" be a reason to keep you from learning something new. Of course it'll be obsolete in five years. Chances are, your job will be too, and we'll all be using some website or technology or whatever that hasn't been invented yet.

FWIW, I have a FaceBook account, a MySpace, 2 Livejournals, 3 PlanWorlds (that's an Amherst-only social network), 2 Bloggers, a DeadJournal, a GreatestJournal, a uJournal, and a Plog. I don't use all of them regularly, but I do keep up with a good half-dozen or so of them.

I had a blog before the name was invented (diary on diaryland). Right now I am doing some Scripting for Second Life.

I really don't feel as if I have lost the taste for learning new things.
