I disagree. MySpace was ubiquitous right up until Facebook came along. I'm gonna predict that in... say, five more years, max, Facebook will be as dead as MySpace. Which is to say, not gone, but a graveyard, not used by anyone you know. Zuckerberg knows it, which is precisely why he's cashing out now. The next "big" thing, I predict, will be pinterest.
The thing about popular culture, as opposed to technological innovation or engineering, is that people will change simply because change is interesting, not because the new thing is objectively better than the old.
