And I don't mean as a medium for making the feathered Farrah Fawcett poster go more viral faster than it did back then on the bedroom walls of little boys ... but for how it would have been used in the student protests of the day against Vietnam.
I was born at the tail end of those battles (both overseas and here domestically), but I've seen a number of documentaries hearkening back to those troubled times, and I'd have to think that Facebook would have damn near exploded. Unless, of course, the protesters of the 70's would have been like the protesters of today and would have been satisfied with a status update as opposed to taking it to the physical streets.
And, in this alternate world, I'd bet there'd have been a lot of Jane Fonda memes. Just sayin' ...
