social media's future


          Social media is such a big thing right now, and it’s rapidly increasing. Every day there are thousands of new people join the social media movement, such a new Facebook, Twitter, blogger users etc. The question that many might ask is “How do you think social media will change in the future?”

          Since social media is increasing, there will be a lot more improvements. They will keep on adding new and exciting thing to their programs to draw the attention of the users, thus making them want to come back for more of what these social medias have to offer them.

          Take Facebook for example, when it started it was plain and dull, but once they got a little bit bigger, they started adding new things to it such as games and apps to keep the users entertained, and to also draw in more attention. How it would really change in the future is that it will improve a lot, with new and interesting ideas yet to be created. It will improve on things that they probably can’t improve on right now.

          “What other trends would you add to the mix?” there are a lot of new trends that are being set out there that might not have caught the eyes of many, but only a few. A trend that is already started and picked up by a few television shows and websites is memes; they allow you to create your own personal memes that you can show off to your friends or the world. Personally I think if Facebook added a meme creator, they allow you to post on your walls and your friends I think it would be cool.

            “Are they any specific technologies that you think will gain popularity or emerge?”. There are a lot of new and cool inventions being made every day, some of these are not so great but some are very interesting, for example, Googles Project Glass, it has potential to make it, but there are a lot of flaws that come with this.
