Daniel Millers Tales of Facebook is pretty fascinating as it opens a lot of eyes as well reveals many truths of Facebook and its impact on society. With Facebook already being the most popular site on the web, it continues to grow and expand. Although other companies may have more money and power, Facebook is in the driver seat to take over the internet. As Miller brings up, with its large audience of profiles and applications, consumers are looking for a single site where they are able to do everything on the computer, like stated, a “one stop shop.” A place for interaction, email, transaction ect. I agree with is and believe it would be easier and more efficient for users if everything is on Facebook. This article brings up an interesting point how people have shifted from just surfing the internet to just surfing and spending hours on Facebook. It’s not hard to imagine Facebook becoming the internet in the future, constructing one giant connected piece of social communication. Though something like this can be efficient, there will be sure to be consequences along with it. To think about the power Facebook will hold is a very scary thought. The top technology companies of Apple, Google Microsoft continue to compete and try to stay ahead of another in race to monopolize control of the technological world and it will be very interesting to see how it plays out. As much as they want to combine they want to have complete control of information on individuals for themselves. I foresee a heated competition one where many consequences arise as well as benefits. Here are some interesting facts proving why Facebook is gaining power to be the ultimate internet. Truth is, the future of internet may be Facebook.
