Forbes cover 10 years and one day ago.

Which electronics industry giant will be next?

Facebook I think. It's already bleeding users in some market groups and the ones who stay use it less and less. It'll eventually collapse when older folks realize the mess it is and marketers notice that they're not getting their money's worth in visibility.

My vote goes to Uber

this

Why Uber?

they're at the point of asking for scans of your personal documents such as national id, birth certificate etc just to prove your god damn identity. Won't be surprised if it happens.

Facebook owns Instagram and Whatsapp, the biggest mobile social networks on earth.

Considering their political impact and investment in AI they aren't going anywhere for at least a decade, the actual answer is Twitter.

What might survive is Whatsapp and Messenger : massive and growing userbase

facebook.com alone in the other hand is a dated, ugly, unoptimized and uneven piece of shit
wtf don't they make some web design effort or at least some clean up in their algorythms

This. Twitter is so close to dead it's not even funny anymore.
I can't remember the exact numbers, but aren't, like 75% of the accounts bots?

No one. No one cares about physical magazines anymore.

As already mentioned, Twitter.
It's going to be remembered as one of the many short lived fads of the late '00s until the late '10s. One with far reaching influence, though.
Trump is almost singlehandedly keeping the platform alive, and it will probably die when he stops being president, be it in three or seven years.

Seconding
I still dont understand the popularity of Twitter tho
Also theres too many "sign up with facebook" services already, its basically the new gmail

Tumblr will die before Twitter and Tumblr isn't dying any time soon.

>Tumblr will die before Twitter
Justification?

Yeah but as I said here when will facebook.com will be rewamped ? cause its 2006 design

Let it be, let it be, oh let it be.

do you need one ?

Tesla

Screencap this

t. GM brand representative

the tech giants of today won't ever die IMO. They've become big enough that if things look bad the government will bail them out. Also they write the laws

Twitter still hasn't gotten big in western Europe

I don't see it ever becoming as popular as it is in the USA

>Facebook owns Instagram and Whatsapp,
no one under 40 uses any of those

>Which electronics industry giant will be next?
>hurr durr social media
Die you fucking normies, I hope you're next

>no one under 40 uses any of those
delusional retard

RTG

Twitter. They've been running something like half a billion in the red for the last few years.

nikon and olympus havent been doing well
canon is suffering but theyre still fine
sonys been growing as far as cameras

i wonder how much of a delusional autist one has to be to believe that. facebook by itself is the one that's dying slowly but surely.

>$60/bbl oil? Believe it.

Ha, oil companies today need 50+ just to operate anymore.

What went wrong?

Bleeding money left and right, non-stop scandals, unsustainable business model based on an abusive relationship with drivers, it's only shot at survival (self-driving cars) is still many years away.

you must not use uber then. their drivers are happy and don't mind the corporate nonsense. plus it's way better/cheaper than using a taxi and gives people a side income

How long does Sup Forums have left??
Censorship here in blighty is getting pretty orwellian and it wont be long before we getlocked out, its happened in the past but only ever temporarily, and im pretty sure i read something about ISPs in spain offering package internet, ie access to only certain sites so if that takes off I doubt therell be mmany big name ISPs willing or even interested in offering access to a 3rd rate anime message board omst famous for its toxic community.

i don't think it's the censorship as much as the CONSTANT FUCKING BICKERING that will drive people from this place.

not to mention the stupid amount of boards. so many boards, and for what? it used to be cool to browse Sup Forums or /r9k/ and see a science post then a political post then a literature post and etc etc now you post something on there and it's GO TO /*/ board. so you go to /*/ board and the last reply was an hour ago. and this leaves /r9k/ and Sup Forums to do nothing but just fucking die in their existential misery.

>Twitter
>Shitposting levels somewhere around FYAD and Sup Forums
>Targeted harassment worse than old Sup Forums
>Gives verified checkmarks to literal Nazis
It's dead

This.
Without uber, how would people live the dream of being an unlicensed taxi driver

Tesla will die when it stops getting propped up by the government

ironically, the only people i know who use whatsapp are old

...

as always, inability to adapt. palmos died the same way, when winmo already had cool multimedia features, palmos held true to their original business-like userbase. palmos5 wasn't good enough, webos got out too late, they died. nokia neglected software side of their devices until it was too late.

Fuck, you make them some better than the alternative.

dunno, what has Microsoft infiltrated lately?
Linux?

Twitter is pretty popular with the nips.

Intel.
Inside job by pajeet.

Lelnovo

Hopefully Apple.

Microsoft's hardware division.

Kek. This will actually save it. At least we won't have retards posting Russian Trump propaganda videos that way.

Nigga I am a uber driver. Uber only survives on newbies who haven't weighted down the cost of car ownership, wear and tear, and depreciation. This is the reason we drivers get referral bonuses for bringing in new drivers. A service like Uber needs full time drivers barely breaking even, you can't push taxis out of the market with "side gig" drivers alone.

tumblr is a meme, its basically dead and drifting further into obscurity thanks to other more useful sites like wordpress and pinterest. Tumblr is on life support in the form of porn gifs and feminists.

no company is too big to fail. If they are american and provide sufficient jobs then unca donal will give them help but companies get bought out and dissolved every day.

tesla is a money grab. Elon Musk plays every hand that basically puts him in direct contact with tax dollars. Which is why he hates Trump as he might get cut off.

But tesla is doing well in europe.

Things like the solar roof and powerwall are actually insanely useful. No need for shitty UPSs if the powerwall can power your whole house for a single day, not even factoring solar power.

>This is the reason we drivers get referral bonuses for bringing in new drivers
Literally a Ponzi scheme.

Twitter would already be as dead as MySpace if it were not for Trump.

>powerwall are actually insanely useful. No need for shitty UPSs if the powerwall can power your whole house for a single day

there's nothing special about the powerwall other than the wall mounted design.And it is more than ten times as expensive than a "shitty" UPS.

Get out.

> Nips
I hate how some artists only upload their on Twitter. It usually highly compressed.

I had that happen on my Facebook account since I have a fucked up Polish name that they thought was fake. They demanded passport or state ID scans. I just quit using it. No loss there.

>FaLcon
heeey man not sure you still refresh this thread but you're awesome, hope your family is safe and wish you never stop creating your own success, take care

>CONSTANT FUCKING BICKERING
I fight this by being loving and polite. I'm not even pretending - i thank people for the nice discussion I have. If that is impossible, I close tab and don't look again. Even though le 'chon has been the same behavior-wise since practically day 1, I still do my part

>ten times as expensive

>This is the reason we drivers get referral bonuses for bringing in new drivers
damn, wasn't aware of that.

The amount of Uber drivers in my country exploded due to an unemployment crisis. Most of them say it isn't really good money anymore, but it's not like they have any alternative.

>If that is impossible, I close tab and don't look again.
Not that guy but i'm doing this more and more nowadays, some people just wanna argue for the sake of arguing.
Most people on here are as stubborn as an ox and just come here to vent by calling other people retards but at least a good portion actually wanna discuss in a civilized way after you engage them politely, but there's a few that just wanna bicker for the sake of it cause they're too bitter on the inside and you're better off not replying anymore or just leaving the thread if it's full of the same kind of retards.

Sup Forums is shit because of the nonstop homegroan porn spam. Remove that and you have a chance at producing oc again but it's really slim at this point.

Absolutely correct. It's so easy to get tangled in the shitflinging that may unfold, but I have trained myself. Very nice. When I turn off my pc I want to be .01% of a better person. Wish you the best.

>powerwall are actually insanely useful.
fuck off retard.

Even if you charged up the power wall for FREE and live in a state with expensive electricity cost it would still take you DECADES to recoup your cost.

power wall might only make sense IF you already have solar panels, but even then there are cheaper solutions.
As a stand alone product ? its all a pipe dream, you will probably die before it pays for itself.

IBM

>no one under 40 uses Instagram

kill yourself my man

Many machines will be replaced by 3D printers. CNC machines for example.

Lol

They keep revamping it constantly. The only problem is that this "revamping" keeps adding to the fucking bloat of it. I genuinely don't even know how they managed to make it as slow as it is, everything must be ajax polling the servers and redrawing constantly or some shit.

it's not about recouping costs. it's about backup you absolute brain dead moron.

Nokia didn't like smart phones lmao

>we won't have retards posting Russian Trump propaganda videos that way.

That shouldn't be a problem anymore already since Hillary is no longer paying for those ads. Unless she decides to run again, which hopefully she will.

What are you smoking? Nearly EVERYONE under 40 uses those. Doesn't mean they're not in decline though, I never used one and haven't used another in a long time.

>no one white under 40 uses any of those

Fixed. Plenty of poor pajeets begging for bobs posting on them. I don't know if facebook can sustain themselves off of only third worlders though.

Do you want a young girlfriend? Get those apps.

With the exception of Sony, don't those have a very limited focus, like cameras and printers, so no one would notice if they went away?

there of plenty of people asking about time of use load shifting with the powerwall.
A lot of first articles about the powerwall all mention that is one of its intended uses , it isn't just solely for people who have solar panels.


Elon just takes some existing shit, packs it in shiny white plastic and sells it to you for a high markup, while you can feel smug about saving the earth after you dole out 5K for a battery pack.


For $5k in money you can buy 40+ car batteries and have 5x the available power of the Powerwall, but its neither sexy nor clean solution, or inversely you could just buy 6-8 car batteries and have the same amount of power as a Powerwall

You got a problem with Marketing's role in
technology?

Yup it will only take one brutal murder/rape and no one will trust them again. I'm sure that's already happened but not one that's been highly publicized.

I hope to God Twitter dies tho

Thats a nokia 6555. I had it and battery life was shit, probably because of the 2 screens that were always on when in use.

>I can't remember the exact numbers, but aren't, like 75% of the accounts bots?

i sure follow this one

Use :orig

It still compressed though and you can see a bit of artifact if the uploaded is jpg, only png won't get compressed.

I think the real question isn’t what’s on the decline now already - that’s easy mode - it’s what is flying high and not showing signs of failing anytime soon that are harder to determine.

Thoughts?

Nokia had already been making smartphones for years when that issue came out.

Symbian being a buggy piece of shit
Appalling build quality in its' later flagships (N95/N96)

Fuck off Goyim Merchant

For what it's worth lads, I do the same. Despite all the shit posting there are still good threads being posted, with a lot of stuff worth discussing.

The whole idea of the Powerwall is that it uses the same battery conservation technology as a Tesla car. Sure you can build your own with deep cycle batteries, but they won't last as long or have similar performance to the Powerwall.

>no one under 40 uses Instagram

i will say that i find it interesting the kind of people you meet as drivers. one time i had a semi retired commercial airline pilot.

does instagram allow nuditiy because i need somewhere other than pinterest or tumblr to host my porn

but.. the nokia 1100 and the 1110 are still the best selling cell phones of all time. No one has caught up to them.

I'm so glad to see this shit finally starting to die.

Most people I know barely use it, many people are starting to filter all their posts to only family and close friends, rarely uploading pictures or doing much of anything. I've stopped looking at it so much because it's the same 5 of 100 people on my list sharing memes or Facebook game spam. I basically gave in and signed up for this garbage just as it was going on the way out.

Instagram, snapchat, whatsapp, twatter, tumblr.

All these meme chat clients are shit and are filled with bots.

Fagbook will collapse with them, due to demonitization that's sweeping google.

>bots
proofs, tovarisch?

IG wont go down, it has probably the best interface and functions for normies.People just want to watch pictures or jerk off to their instagram crush, its simple as that, no useless cluttered piece of shit with 2749284025 " functions" like facebook

FB is also too big to fall and literally everyone uses messenger.

I agree about the rest, never got the appeal of shit like snapchat and etc which are mainly depending on a gimmick while not doing anything much different than IG/FB.
Twitter is more or less the same, i feel it's used pretty much mainly only because celebrities "endorse" it buy posting dumb shit there all the time and normies love following, retweeting and responding to them to feel like theh are actually communicating witb their favorite rapper or actor
