No Facebook, No Photo Sharing?

One of my favorite things about being in the advertising industry is the sixth sense that you develop. We constantly have our eyes and ears open for trends that have made their way into everyday conversation and local media placements. Today was no exception. I was hanging out with my 18 year old sister who is about to graduate in a few weeks and she was convinced that I had seen pictures of her prom dress [false] and was excited to show me pictures of their party bus [and ultimately pregnancy test results]. But after this stat was posted not too long ago, the next part of the conversation left me slightly speechless and smiling.

Me: Why don't you just post your pics on the interwebs?
Sister: Because I don't have Facebook yet.

She automatically assumed that I meant that her photos weren't being shared on Facebook, when in fact I wasn't because I know she doesn't have an account. Facebook makes it tough for users to walk away. All of their friends AND pictures are there. Congrats FB, don't screw it up!

P.S. While I am writing this, my roommate is browsing through photos of her brother's prom on Facebook!
