What if one day you woke up, went through your morning routine, took your phone to check your social media accounts, and then tried Facebook but it didn’t open? Then the page said: This Page no longer exists.

Yikes!

Here are the three phases, we will go through if that were to ever happen:

  1. The Breaking News Phase

  • Twitter servers would crash due to the intense load of tweets like #OMG! Facebook has crashed.

#Feeling_Terrible

#Follow_Me_On_Google+

  • Mark Zuckerberg will be marked missing on news channels.
  • High numbers of citizens would blame the government – which, for once, would be innocent.
  • Googlers would be as happy as sandboys, and might perform “Gangnam Style” in their offices.
  • A film called “The Social Not-work”, starring Zac Efron, will be released in movie theatres nationwide.

Hence an atmosphere of thunderbolt will reign.

 

  1. The Denial Phase

  •  Social birds and Facebook’s stockholders would mourn the loss of 1k+ friends. As the old adage goes…  Don’t put all your friends (eggs) in one social network (basket).
  • Nobody would “like” anything anymore.
  • Millions of people will become depressed because they will suddenly realize that they have NO social life: no friends, no lovers, nobody to share a coffee with.

 

  • When a king unexpectedly dies in war, his lower cadre officer starts dreaming of becoming the next king. In a similar way, tech-nerds would start fighting to build a copy of Facebook raging a war named: “Let’s build next Facebook“.
  • Mankind would migrate to Twitter making its valuation soar.
  • There shall be fewer accidental run-ins with that cute girl you met last month at your friend’s cousin’s boyfriend’s birthday party.
  • Marketing companies would probably implode with cries for help since big shares of their work depend on Facebook.

 

  1. The Happy Ever After Phase

  • Instragram CEO will win the ‘Luckiest Man Alive’ contest.
  • Less Internet bills; office productivity would also show an upward trend again.
  • All smart phones will become mobile phones, because we will come to realize that phones with a more manageable size are more efficient.
  • The world will become a better place when people stop receiving requests of Pirate Kings or Cookie Jam.
  • People will finally have some privacy. After rolling back to reality, they will also realize how much time in fact they do have like the good old days.
  • Hotmail/Gmail/Yahoo employees’ life will be a bowl of cherries. No Facebook means no more irritating notification mails, meaning less work on their part. Luckiest desk jockeys alive!

 

We would wake up and realize that Facebook (even though we love it) isn’t the be all and end all… And then we will live a happy ever after while saying R.I.P Facebook.
