"In five to eight years they are going to disappear in the way that Yahoo has disappeared," Ironfire Capital founder Eric Jackson told the CNBC show Squawk on the Street on Monday.

"When you look over these three generations, no matter how successful you are in one generation, you don't seem to be able to translate that into success in the second generation, no matter how much money you have in the bank, no matter how many smart PhDs you have working for you," Jackson says.

"Look at how Google has struggled moving into social, and I think Facebook is going to have the same kind of challenges moving into mobile."From Yahoo! News: Facebook's sliding stock price has at least one hedge fund manager predicting a dismal decade ahead for the social network.

Not unless a new site comes along that becomes more popular.

I have no use for FACEBOOK. In fact, I even forgot about them still existing.

More than likely if not it will be near to dead. Technology moves too quickly. Facebook is only the flavour of the month that will be surpassed by something new and different.

Yahoo isn't exactly a social site; however, MySpace would be a better comparison.

That's even longer than the usual lifetime of a popular site.

MySpace would be a better example than Yahoo, in fact it's still going pretty strong. MySpace, however, is a ghost site.

I wouldn't say Yahoo has gone anywhere, it's still quite active. Facebook? Or an improved version on new technology, fads change and even 8 years ago nobody would have predicted what we have today, in 8 more years, who knows?

I don't disagree about FB going away. I have to ask what tech will we use by then? I love computers but is this really the end of communication?

And won't we ALL be happy when stores, restaurants, massage parlors, and the US Government stop demanding that we are to "like" them.

It'll still be there (tho I really would love to see it go - I'm so sick of hearing about it)\
However - it will lose popularity for sure. That is inevitable.

It isn't all that special, just a human scrapbook of what people are doing.

Probably but it may become a network for kiddos under 15 or 13 - they may have fun with it as adults just move on to something else
