The Virgosign on living forever
Hey people,"Who wants to live forever" sang the great Freddie Mercury.
The first time I heard of Facebook was some 14 years ago when it was in its infancy. I started using it about a year later, little realizing how it will change social interactions worldwide and the upcoming generation's mentality. Kudos to Mark Zuckerberg, who overnight yesterday moved down from being the fouth richest to the sixth richest man on the Planet. So why kudos? Because the figures are mind numbing. Facebook, before yesterday was worth a mind boggling $626 billion or thereabouts. Now, it's down to c. $508 billion. That's 508,000,000,000. US dollars. Close your eyes, and repeat that figure digit by digit. It takes 12 seconds to just say it. To own it? Easy, depending on your perspective. Think about how nobody, nobody takes anything of materialistic value with them at the end of the day. I'll be remembered for my deeds ... and so would Zuckerberg. That makes us even I guess. I do my bit, but Zuckerberg and the top odd dozen of his ilk have the power to change the world .... for the better.
And unlike the rest of us mortals, live forever.
Peace
