The social media titan, Facebook, celebrated its tenth birthday on Tuesday, and at the same time introduced a new addition called Paper. Bobcat Update's Audrey Seifert spoke with students and staff to get their take on what they think lies is in store for them and the company.

What was once a website offered exclusively to college students is now global. There are now more than a (B) billion Facebook subscribers worldwide. Students use it to connect with friends and family. They even use it to organize study sessions. It's now hard to remember how they ever lived without it.

While checking statuses has become a force of habit for many people, younger users don't seem to be as enamored with the website. The younger generation is discovering other media outlets, which means they rely less on Facebook.

U-S-A Today reports that Facebook has created a new app called Paper. It's described as a social media site with swagger. Users can view its newsfeed, articles, and friend activity with the swipe of a finger or the tilt of a phone.

There's no way to tell how Paper will be received by the general public in the days to come, but it's safe to say that Facebook will be around for a long time. Have a happy birthday, Facebook. For Bobcat Update, I'm Audrey Seifert.
