High School Yearbooks May Be Replaced By High School Facebooks

It seems that high school yearbooks face extinction as surely as dinosaurs and will be killed off by high school Facebooks.

If you haven't heard of Facebook, you must have been living on one of Saturn's moons. For techno dunces, creating a web page was traditionally difficult. They had to know html, have software, and pay for a domain, or pay a large sum to someone who knew such things. The revolutionary and clever thing about Facebook is that it allowed any non-nerd user to easily create a personal web page for free. Facebook made it super simple for these pages to interact with one another.

Facebook is a shrewd pun on phonebook. The term reflects a technological evolution. Visual medium will replace the phone.

These days almost everyone under the age of 30 has a Facebook page. Love it or hate it, you've got about as much chance of getting through life in the next 30 years without Facebook as you do without electricity.

A logical question to ask, is why not simply host a yearbook on Facebook? Then each individual page can be linked to the yearbook, and it provides continual updates on everyone in the high school class.

Then every classmate can know all the undignified drivel from high school classmates as well as other friends. The entire class can bombard the yearbook place with discussion of useless minutiae, making it seem like watershed news.

Awesome!

Cynics might suggest that part of the appeal of the yearbook is the very fact this it isn't current. That it is decadent. That it is a snapshot from the past. Linking to Facebook pages of everyone in the present is the antithesis of this.

And what if someone wants privacy? Dignity? To have their own business be just theirs? To not have the whole high school follow their lives with ease? Screw those decadent rubes! Privacy is so 20th century. Get with the program, jackhole.

Life would be so much easier if everyone just got a Facebook page, so the government can just track Facebook, and save billions on echelon, carnivore and other kind-of-constitutional attempts to monitor and categorize their human inventory.

Oh, wait, I just farted, better Facebook it. I just saw something green, better Facebook it. I just saw something, red, better Facebook it. I just saw something, better Facebook it. I didn't see anything, better Facebook it. I can't see, better Facebook it.

Maybe I'm just getting old and crusty, but when I heard people talking about making yearbooks into a unified Facebook, I wanted to take my own life. But I can't kill myself. Once I'm dead, how would I Facebook everyone about my suicide?
