1. A severe downturn in the spy and private investigation industries. Why hire a PI when you can simply follow the ‘bread crumb’ trail of someone’s Facebook or Foursquare posts?
2. Longer lines at all Starbucks. Hard enough deciding between a Venti no-foam, non-fat latte and a Grande soy chai latte, but NOW you’ll be concurrently offered a coupon for the same drink at the coffee shop next door PLUS a free pink sprinkle doughnut.
3. Autobiographies and journals made simple. Forget writing in a little black book each evening. Just have Facebook and your phone recreate and b/log your day. After a few years feed it all into a cloud-based auto editor and, POW. Instant autobiography completed and ready to sell millions on Kindle.
4. All new ways to prove your innocence … “But honey, of course I was working late at the office — didn’t you see my Facebook location posts?” Now how do I turn that GPS thing back on?
5. A systematic end to the phrase, “Fancy meeting you here,” except as a sarcastic statement. Seriously, a few years from now, will we ever accidentally run into friends? If not, bummer.
