The trigger for the biggest stock market crash in human history is sitting at the kitchen table and has only one word to say about Facebook: “boomers”. This has been a swear word among 14-year-olds for some time. It stands for a world in which time has stood still in a moment that nobody really needs anymore. According to its quarterly report, Facebook lost around $240 billion in value. This is almost equivalent to the federal budget for half a year. The main reason for the crash is the fact that the social network has fewer users than in the previous quarter for the first time since its inception in 2004. Only a million fewer, that’s not much with three billion registered users. But it’s a sign. And it’s mainly the young people who don’t come anymore.
