Let’s End “The END of __” Headlines

 Bombastic eulogies: Let’s put an end to cynical “The End of” headlines Nirit Weiss-Blatt Big Think

My new article demonstrates numerous times headlines claimed "The End of Facebook/ Google/ Twitter/ etc" and were miserably wrong.

We still have those stupid headlines due to both panic and wishful thinking (wanting Facebook to die, for example). 
But wishful thinking doesn't make the END of something a fact.

On the other side of the equation, we have tech leaders with a totally different narrative:
1. There's a lot to Build. We are the Builders.
2. Progress. We're moving forward because, by definition, progress is for good.

This combination can explain why those things (that were declared "Dead") are pretty much alive and kicking.
