Evolution of social media and running out of credit!

Has anyone else noticed how Facebook just went full savage and robbed TimeHop of their idea? If you did not ever have the TimeHop app, it was an app which went through all your social media accounts and showed you what you posted on that day 1-7 years ago. Of course this was an original and frankly awesome idea which just kicked you multiple times in the nostalgia feels area of your brain. It's rapid popularity was of course a warning sign to the multi-billion pound giant that is Facebook so I'm unsure wether they paid TimeHop for their idea or just straight up robbed it, either way, stop shitting on the little guy! So yeah, Facebook now do the same thing Timehop did, and you can go read some quite frankly cringe worthy statuses and shocking attempts at flirting and blind oblivion to the fact that a girl is flirting with you. Fool. So mine only shows status from like 7-8 years ago as it took a while to tear myself away from the social media gods that were Bebo and MySpace. My 15 year old self sitting there seeing all the statuses of "Fuck MySpace Facebook is so much better oh and Fuck Bebo too" BLASPHEMY! I was outraged. I had put so much time and effort into making my pages look the best, there were songs and games and videos and pictures and everything you could ever want but no, apparently this Facebook thing was so much better. As the years went by and the loves stopped coming in (if you did not have Bebo, loves were a lot like Facebook likes, probably easier to discribe them as the hearts when you like something on Instagram but let's not get into that yet) and I took a long look at my page, clicked the searchbar and typed in my betrayal www.facebook.com. I felt like a traitor but with a flick of my fringe I made an account  within minutes the vultures who I had told Facebook would never catch on were swarming me with friend requests and pokes... I accepted them all but out of stubbornness I refused to write a status or do anything that may indicate I moved over to the dark side for anything less than "research". Soon it was over. Bebo closed down, MySpace became a distant memory, so much so I couldn't even remember my log in (pour some out for our fallen homies) and Facebook had achieved global domination. Anyway small digression there. Yeah my TimeHop thing only shows 7-8 years ago maximum, of course with each passing year these will increase. So I was sitting there and thinking what happens in 20 years time, will Facebook still be the dominate force in social media? Will I be sitting there with 2-4 kids and get a notification on my IPhone 74 of you have memories today with so and so and Siri projects herself on the wall and proceeds to show the room at large a meme about some horrid sex act sent to you by your 14 year old mate who had just discovered that women exist. Or some nice video entitled 'make sure you have the sound right up her voice is amazing' which we all know what comes next, the heart shattering a panic inducing moans of the wildly excited female porn star. Or heaven forbid a picture of Harambe and you have to then go into the saddest story of all time in front of your kids. Memes of Joe Bidden and Obama and try to explain that there will be no one on the planet that will love them as much as those two love one another. The ice bucket challenge, the Harlem Shake please god not again. And if I see that fucking dress again and even one of my kids tries to tell me it's not white and gold I swear to god I'll march them down to the nearest orphanage and leave them there, forever. Or if they try to make me relive the year we do not talk about, 2016, each name of the past heros coming up on the wall with Siri sitting there smiling like the obnoxious dickhead she is.  No. I think something may need to be done about this, well I'm only assuming that Siri is going to pop out of the phone in the future like Princess Leia (RIP Carrie Fisher... see 2016 flashbacks already!) but still even if she didn't I'm sure kids will know how to unlock any phone by then and will read it and coming running with a million questions, "daddy what's this? Daddy what's that?" I don't fucking know it's 20 years later and it's still crippling  to even think about now go play with your nuclear powered action man. I feel like soon kids will be born evolved, born with a phone attached to their hand. I do feel that we need to start teaching kids to play the way we used to instead of playing on their phone from the age of 5. I didn't even have a phone until I was 13 and it was some utter shite Samsung that couldn't even go on the internet and if it did your credit (yeah credit, you remember that shit? None of that contract bollocks when I was a kid) was gone. Like the South Park episode "annnnnnnd it's gone".
Literally the only good thing about having a pay-as-you-go phone was if someone was pissing you off, or you were messaging a girl and she starts showing her pshyco side you give old "sorry I'm running out of credit, this is my last text, see you at school x" and you were free to use your credit on those more deserving and less pshycho!

Anyway got to go check my Bebo page, much love and speak to you soon.
