9. Facebook used to be college only
As long as you have a valid email address and you don’t mind fibbing about your age if you are required to do so, you can set up a Facebook account in the time it will take you to read this sentence (if you have fast Internet, that is). That was not always the case. Those who are older and who may have learned about Facebook because of their kids and also younger users who are just now completing their high school educations may be surprised to know that Facebook was only available to users with confirmed college email addresses. It is almost impossible to reflect on those days considering what Facebook ultimately became.
