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 believe
that social media will change for the better of mankind. Making the lazy, lazier
and the active will be even more active thanks in part to the new and upcoming
smart phones and the new Google glass. The growth of social media and new
technologies is making things extremely easy for individuals to communicate
with one another. With this new Web 3.0, coming to homes near you, the way we
search the internet will become customized towards are specific needs. These
new search engines will make the dumb, dumber in my opinion. Now, think about
it for a minute, people already have a hard time writing, reading and
communicating with one another face-to-face. How will taking away vocabulary words
from a person’s dialect help individuals succeed in the real word? One cannot
always depend on spell check you know, especially when speaking. I see social
media’s impact on today’s youth and it is not pretty by any means. So, that
being said; what does the future hold for them? A big problem in today’s
society is gridlock; people spend an incredible amount of time in their
vehicles. So, why not make it safer for people to communicate effectively
without breaking the law. I can see something like Google glass being intergraded
in vehicles, the technology is almost there. The technology that I believe will
gain popularity is paying for items with your smart phone. Just by simply scanning
a bar code on your phone and “voila” done, wasn’t that easy? Just think how
easy it will be to get hacked and ripped off. As much as I enjoy writing these
blog’s it is time to sign off. I will keep using social media as a business
tool and as far as socially you can just “shovel it”, I will keep enjoying life
as a “caveman”.
I leave you with a famous quote by Albert
Einstein.
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity;
and I'm not sure about the universe.”
