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?
I think social media going to be huge change in the future when it comes to social media. Social media is starting to become a way of life for most people, and I think eventually it will be a way of life for all of us. . In the near future social media will be done all hands free, most likely all by voice command. Look at us today, we can take pictures from our Smartphone’s and post them straight on Face book, or write on our blogs from our phone.
And also social media changes will have a significant effect on higher education. Over the next decade, advanced technologies will put education within the reach of many more individuals around the world, and will allow greater specialisation in curriculum and teaching methodologies than ever before. With these benefits comes the challenge of ensuring that university infrastructure and operations are in place to support the adoption of technology on campus. I think not only higher education, elementary schools or high schools also changes their teaching methodology.
So definitely in future the social media changes our life become so lazy. We don’t need to wait to get to a computer; we use our portable devices to do everything. I think eventually we are not even going to have to think for ourselves, our devices will do it for us. From the convenience that social media is giving us today I think it will create a lazy society. Personally I think that because so many people are using social media now, everyone else will soon join the mix and our society will run through social media. Sure it gives us better social skills behind a screen, but is the convenience worth destroying our personal social skills with real people? I think in 2012 we are going to name social media as a digital media.
