You can&#x27;t neglect the fact that while facebook&#x27;s outward appearance is &quot;social media site&quot;, which may indeed be on the decline, they do a lot of work behind the scenes just to manage such an incredible amount of data.<p>I could easily see facebook surviving long into the future in a similar way to IBM -- with a focus that is shifted from what made them big player, but still doing valuable work (and making money) in the tech &quot;sphere&quot;.
