The End Of faceBook......
PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down now. Managing the site has become too stressful.
“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”
Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting April 1st, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.
“After April 1st the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of
Technical-Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You would not be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of busi-ness.”
Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut-down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset.
“I personally don’t think it is a big deal,” he said in a private magazine interview. “And to be honest, I think it is for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That is always a good thing.”
Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news.
“What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Ali, a high school student from Lahore. “My life revolves around it. I am on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. Now what am I going to do with all that free time?”
How-ever, parents across the world have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief.
“I am glad the Facebook night-mare is over,” said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. “Now my teenagers face would not be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conver-sation with her.”
Those in the financial circuit are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9 billion.
But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He says he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe.
“I do not care about the money,” said Zuckerberg. “I just want my old life back.”
The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before April 1st. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.
