Re: Winds of Change
@Kelsey I think some people find downsizing appealing in theory but that very few do it in real life. Most people still seem to be on a hedonic treadmill, and purusit of the latest technology is one of the things that plays into that.
Re: Winds of Change
@Michelle It's hard to say but I think definitely possible. In the 90s everyone was trying to buy bigger homes, TVs, more stuff...now there's a minimalist movement where it's trendy to purge things, move into smaller homes -- less is more.
These are all changes to individuals' physical environments and priorities, but maybe that desire for physical minimalism flows over into the digital -- causing a desire to only post occasionally and only really meaningful comments and pictures to social media. But then again, what's considered "meaningful" is subjective.
Re: Winds of Change
It is true, in essence, to assess this simple notion: Who will be left standing.
But there is a larger challenge underscored by this which I hope all here @ TT will review and comment on--a tough read:

Re: Winds of Change
@Kelsey Do you think this means real life interaction sans devices will soon be in fashion? I think it would neat to see society shift more to in-person interactions.

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@mhhf1ve I don't really pay much attention to these games. I only recall years ago my kids enjoyed playing Millsberry. That got taken down, likely because in our self-regulating ad environmen tin the US, the company came under pressure for doing what appeared to be direct marketing to kids for sugary cereals.

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@Ariella I doubt New York City police would have bothered to come to the person's home the way they did out here in Long Island. Again such are the dangers, at least for me, for not having my phone with me for a few days. How I wish I could disconnect from everything for a while.

I haven't jumped on the Snapchat bandwagon yet. Snap just had an IPO. It could be a wise investment.

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
It's real fun to always see how great everyone is doing on social media all the time. This is one of the reasons why the founders of Snap were able to raise money, to prove a point that real-life social made more sense. Well, they seem to be doing alright, even though only a particular subset of people use Snapchat.

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
Is Farmville still going? I know there was a parody of Farmville that also got out of hand, and then the creator killed it off. And I think I just saw that Disney shut down its Penguin Club for kids in order to try to boost some other new kid game...
WoW is still going.. A lot of old MMORPGs are still on life support.... so even when there's burnout, there are still a few stragglers who can't stop.

Re: About That Social Media Burnout
@srufolo1 Wow! I wonder if NYC police woud have bothered. When I called police on the Island myself to report my daughter's wallet being stolen and her cards having been used, they sent 3 guys over, not they actually did anything, though. As the wallet was taken on a train and the fraudulent charges put on in Queens, they said it wasn't their jurisdiction. But they didn't seem to mind coming over to write up a report.
