Facebook Dot Com

Mark Zuckerberg, former Harvard student and architect of Facebook was painted as the new fad of the tech world. Christened the "Toddler CEO", Zuckerberg seemed to be condescended to and belittled by Lesley Stahl. The angle from which 60 Minutes choose to cover this story gives further credence to the idea that the established forces of any profession, or area; fear and therefore dislike anything new and different.

Maybe Facebook is just today's hot topic and tomorrow will be yesterday's news. Maybe Facebook will be around 100 years from now, and the way we use it today will pale in comparison to the future. Whichever the case my be Facebook is here right now and making a big impact on the way people communicate; and CBS, Google, and MySpace must just get used to it.
