Culture is a series of pendulum swings. We go all-in on something new and then at some point grow tired of it. If it is something actually useful, it simply fades into the fabric of everyday life. If we find out its not useful, we abandon it and proceed to the other extreme.
I guess social media is useful. Primarily as a sales vehicle (or collecting data therefor), and to a lesser degree for people to keep in touch, mostly at a surface level. I don't see it continuing in its current form forever. I see competitors coming which eventually break into the market share, and at some point a federated protocol where you can be on any service and connect with people on any other. The incumbents will fight that tooth and nail obviously, so it may take a while.
