Facebook is officially turning ten today! Yes, can you believe that it’s been an entire decade since Facebook first made its way into our lives? The website, which currenly has over 1billion users, was first launched on February 4th 2004. Created by Mark Zuckerberg and originally only open to students of Harvard University, Facebook now has users from around the globe and it just keeps on getting bigger and bigger. To celebrate the website’s birthday, we thought it’d be fun to look at some of the ways our lives would be different if Facebook didn’t actually exist... We wouldn't be able to 'like' anything 10. No one would ‘like’ anything: The ‘like’ is something that has become purely synonymous with Facebook. If Facebook wasn’t around, we’d have no way of expressing our appreciation for something by hitting a button and virtually ‘liking’ it. We’d have to actually TELL people that we enjoyed their witty quip or what they wore yesterday or that we love the fact that they’re now in a relationship with that guy they’ve fancied for ages. 9. We’d actually have proper conversations with our friends: Rather than posting something on their walls or sending them a mail on Facebook, we’d actually pick up the phone and have a chat with them. Crazy! 8. We’d keep our private lives private: No one would know if we broke up with our boyfriend or if we got that new job. People would have to ask us about our lives. 7. We wouldn’t have to de-tag ourselves in pictures: Our 725 friends would no longer be privvy to the drunken antics of our Saturday night out. They wouldn’t see those mortifying pictures and they’d also never know that our friends drew all over our face with a black marker when we eventually fell asleep. 6. If someone poked us, we’d be freaked out: On Facebook, getting a poke usually means that one of your friends wants to have a bit of banter. In real life, getting a poke means that someone just seriously invaded your personal space. We'd have to ditch the instant messages and actually ring our friends 5. We wouldn’t have severe life envy: We wouldn’t be comparing our dull, boring lives to the life of our friend who is currently having the time of her life backpacking around the world. Or that friend who landed an epic job abroad and is now regularly posting pictures of her Jimmy Choo splurges on her Facebook page. We’d happily exist in the realms of ignorance and it would be blissful. 4. You wouldn’t be able to spam you friends with pictures of your cat/baby: If you wanted them to see how awesome your cat/baby is, you’d have to invite them over (or try sending them non-stop picture messages. 3. Banging your friends would require so much effort: You’d have to wine and dine them, you couldn’t just use this disturbing Facebook application. 2. You’d never know where your friends are: Without a constant stream of ‘check-in’ notifications, you’d have to actually ring or text your friends to find out where they are and who they’re with. 1. It would be so hard to remember birthdays: Facebook is great for jogging the auld memory when it comes to the birthdays of your friends and family. Without its birthday notifications, we’d have to rely on the humble wall calendar to keep track of those important dates. Annoying or what?
