How do you think
social media will change in the future?
What other trends would you add to the mix? Are they any specific
technologies that you think will gain popularity or emerge?
Social Media has no means of slowing down. The further we
get into this technological age, the more things advance. People will come out
with more innovative ideas to keep us connected, and they will undoubtedly make
it better. This is only the beginning for us. With technologies like Google
Glasses coming out, we could be looking at a brand new stream of social media
changes. Once they finally come out, and become popular; I predict that we get
an easy photo/uploading app that allows us to upload hands free. Speaking of
photo sharing websites, I believe they will become more intricate throughout
the years. With sites such as Instagram on the rise, I can only see this trend
continuing into the future.
Facebook is one of the most popular websites on the
internet. It has over 800 million active users, and it continues to grow on a
daily basis. Unfortunately, as with everything on the internet, I feel like
sooner or later it will outgrow it's shelf life. People these days strive to
find new things, and I see alternatives of Facebook will eventually rise. In
the first few years of MySpace, nobody really expected it to go downhill as
quickly as it did. Once Facebook came around, MySpace just wasn't cool anymore.
I predict that the same thing will happen to Facebook, as well as Twitter.
I've also noticed a lot more of my friends using the website
StumbleUpon. The site is brilliant in my opinion, and there isn't anything else
quite like it on the internet. I feel like StumbleUpon has a lot of room to
grow with younger generations. It's had a slow build since coming into
existence, but the longer it's been around, the more users it's managed to
maintain. The idea of a website the becomes intuitive with your likes and
personality is extremely marketable to me.
I believe social media will be here as long as we exist.
We've become so dependent on it, that it's taken over a large part of our
social interaction. Weither the pros outweigh the cons, or vice versa; we can
be sure that social media will take us straight into the future.
Completely agree, I too believe that social media will be here as long as we exist and that people have become really dependent on it. I can definitely say that we won't see social media slowing down anytime soon, or if ever.
ReplyDeleteI agree NIck! :)
ReplyDeleteI 100% believe as well that social media is here to stay and will simply evolve to products for our future generations and culture.
Every single one of your points I agree with 100%. Facebook has already started to to decline in interest, well at least within the people Ive spoken to. Twitter seems to be going stronger at the moment, but yet again both will loose interest but who knows how quickly. Ive been a part of stumbleupon for probably 4 years now and it never fails to surprise me with what it comes up with, it is an excellent idea made into an excellent site. I do not think that social media will ever disappear there are so many sites out there that people arent even aware of, it amazes me.
ReplyDeleteSocial media is surly increasing rapidly and there is no point in slowing down. In future there will so many things we could do with social media. I like the fact that you stated about stumble upon this website is growing at increasing rate and i like it too.You are tell about the future of Facebook and twitter may be in near future there will be a site which could have an increasing internet traffic than facebook and twitter.
ReplyDeleteThis is very true but I also believe that social media has given us all it has to give. In the future I can see social media developing what it already has but not giving us something completely new since basically everything has been done.
