If Facebook offered a child prediction feature, such a feature would make such a site lot more entertaining, and keep members on the site for a longer period of time – especially during the initial time frame after the feature’s release.

The feature would allow members to click onto the pictures of individuals of the opposite sex, and have the option of viewing an image of what their offspring would look like. In other words they would be given the option of predicting what their son or daughter would look like in reality, if they had actually had a baby together in real life.

 To make the experience more interesting, they’d also be able to use age progression software to see what such a child would look like as they aged. And they’d also be able to use such age progression software on the predicted offspring of other pairings outside of their own match up. And then use the prediction software to predict what their offspring and the outside offspring, offspring would look like. In other words, they’d also be able to predict what their grandchildren would look like.

They could entertain themselves by creating virtual family trees, in which they’d be able to save for further tweaking later on, or they’d be able to decide on erasing such.

Famous people would obviously get the most clicks via such a feature – especially since most people have a fascination, and some an obsession, with famous individuals.

I believe such a feature would make the social experience on Facebook a lot more interesting – especially when all the possibilities of such a feature are contemplated.
