Social Media's Future

The Future for Social Media appears long and bright, Social Media has continued to grow and expand throughout the ages. You are able to accomplish so many things on the internet such as on-line banking, on-line shopping, research, email, etc. Instead of researching through books and encyclopaedias’, people research on the internet through search engines. You can do pretty much anything on-line and if you can’t then it will be able to soon. Without leaving your home you can access anything with the tap of your finger, it is very beneficial for people who are unable to leave their home. The future of Social Media will continue to grow for many, many years. Social Media is also one reason why kids today find it more important to go on facebook, or play computer games than go outside and play. The increase in Social Media can lead to an increase in obesity. The more Social Media evolves, the less likely everyone will be getting the exercise they need.
One trend that I would add to the mix is having a more improved internet that is super fast and will not freeze. I know it’s not very logical but one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to technology is my computer freezing on me when I’m in the middle of something important.
I believe that social media will continue to rise even more than it has so far. This is probably going to be this largest fad the world has seen in a long time. Everybody can use Social Media; it is simple and relatively cheap. I believe that on technology that will gain popularity is to hook your personal computer up to your television. I believe this method will advance in the technology so that we could possible hook our computer and laptop together in a wireless method.

  1. Kayla, good post.

    I agree with almost everything you have said, especially the obesity problem. we all think that the advancement in technology will be only beneficial and will have no down sides. This can be seen, especially where medicinal technology is heading, but as for personal technological advancements it could be a different story. we all know and expect it to make life easier but what we dont realize is that as technology advances and we can access more and more things online, we spend more time doing just that. With a problem such as obesity, which it is said is already on the rise and could be a future problem, the amount of time we spend on the computer or our mobile phones may just add to this problem.

  2. I really like the idea of hooking up your computer with your laptop wirelessly. It would be convenient if we forgot our files at home, it would be very convenient. I also agree when you expressed the growth in social media in the past and how it will continue in the future, great connection.

  3. You provided strong examples on how social media evolved through the years. Good job on that. By the way, it has been years since desktop computers are possible to connect to laptops wirelessly. :) Just for you info though..
