Chris Fakkema- Module 7, Blog #1



This article basically sums up how much social media has progressed over the last decade, and what the future of social media might look like.  There are 11 different predictions of what may be in store for the future of social media.  Many of these predictions are taken from people that are currently working within the social media. It’s predicted that within the next four years, 2.44 billion people will be on some form of social media platform.  Social media platforms will continue to evolve, and according to the author, social media may even be integrated into what we wear, and track our habits.  This may already be taking place, thanks to Apple’s iWatch, Fitbit, and other forms of wearable items, that track daily movements. However, in the future, these movements may be integrated into an individual’s social media profiles, which will share a person’s progress with their followers.

  1. I love it! Instead of this being creepy I like to see how things are being integrated with 3.0 like the fitbits and apple watches. I didn't think about things to wear so I think this article offers a good point that 3.0 is more interactive!

  2. I too found a article about the social media and what it might look. That is a crazy amount of people that will be on some form of social media. I was guessing there would only be 1.9 billion. I have not seen any new social media that are using the wearable items. I think that social media on wearable is the next thing though.
