How Facebook is Affecting Life & Death
Before I get into the topic today, I just want to say how great it is to have heard back from folks how worthwhile my friend Don’s training on turn your social media endeavors profitable was!
Just in case you “made a mental note of it” which subsequently fell off the radar, Don has since put out two more videos (including a complimentary blueprint download that got my wheels spinning). Before you say “social media isn’t my thing”, consider the possible benefit outside your primary professional focus — perhaps a side business, that of a family member, or even a community group you belong to.
Now, back to the profound idea that 25-year-old Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook could affect life and death…
- I’ve had two friends pass on in as many months (RIP Ken and Terry) and have been stunned at how Facebook is serving as that virtual memorial service — a place where well wishes and memories would probably not have been written down and shared heretofore. Much less, for eternity!
- On the other hand, a colleague shared with me some statistics on how the elderly — who used to be isolated in their nursing home rooms — are now embracing the ability to communicate with one another at a distance, without the stress of leaving home! Facebook is actually extending lifespans, which is in turn triggering a shift in the economics of the eldercare industry, as actuarial tables didn’t know about FB friends.
Please feel free to comment below — have you seen this dynamic as well? Or am I off base? Let me know.

Facebook along with inventions such as the smart phone are changing the climate of interpersonal communications around the globe.
Hi Paul,
This is great! More ammo for my FB-phobic friends and family! Thanks for sharing.
Love the humor, too!

Well I wouldn’t say FB is extending life, it may be making life more enjoyable or inspiring for these people.
And I love the pic!
Thanx,
