iMedia Connection on the future of Facebook.
Facebook will eventually become part of what philosopher Martin Heidegger would call the background of everydayness -- something that simply "is." And some people will really like it, and it will provide them with the kind of social interaction they are incapable of getting from the three-dimensional world around them. And some people will turn it off, never to bask in its glow again.Isn't that future already here? ¶ 11:49 AM

The bit about the radio rang a bell. I found it went by four years ago.
I am still un-Facebook-ed (my wife keeps me up-to-date on friend and family baby pictures through her account), but I discovered I had to have a LinkedIn account to "exist" when I last changed jobs.
