11 Predictions on the Future of Social Media, is the title of this article. It starts by saying how social media has changed they way our life works in a matter of less then ten years. It goes on by saying that in the year of 2039 that we could be using social media for virtual explorations. Now I know science is amazing, but i just don't believe that we will be able to virtually travel in 24 years. However I due believe that social media will become the platform for how we live our lives. Now a days you only learn things about people because of their social media page. What happened to the face to face conversations, the paper articles that took weeks to write up?
I think that trying to predict the future of social media, the Internet, or anything is very difficult. As we all know, the Internet is very fickle and social media is part of that. Judging the future trends of social media seems like it would be very hard because it is almost impossible to judge what will and will not be discovered as well as how the public (society) will react to it. These ideas are quite interesting and really push the boundaries.
