The only problem I have with the "something better will come around" argument is that Facebook is becoming so tightly integrated into so many websites. I don't think it will ever die off.
Considering that it started as a "friend network for college", and many people have participated in this experiment, not knowing that 5 years down the road our private, intimate IM conversations, lulz, and photos would be logged forever, should this be allowed to prosper?
Tell me what you think.
What do you mean by "allowed". Anyway, Facebook is here to stay and I'm not sure what would replace it. Myspace is nothing compared to it. It's childs play compared to Facebook. Facebook is very sophisticated and constantly updating with new technology. And they have the people, resourses and means to continue being on top.
And what makes you say that? It has become an integral part of commerce, government, trade, absolutely everything. It revolutionized the way we do almost everything. Barring every DNS suddenly being destroyed, or some sort of advanced telepathic neural network (aka the work of fiction), I cannot possibly see how the Internet will ever disappear.
You say that, yet facebook is dependent on people to create profiles.

If the internet can be shut off in Egypt for a week, I think it's feasible for people to be completely shut off from access to the internet.

Yes, it is dependent on people voluntarily creating profiles, not something that is "allowed" to exist by elitists.
