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?

In my opinion, social media already has brought upon a huge change in our daily lives. Every day there’s talk about Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Every where we go there’s always someone sitting on Facebook looking at pictures or going through someone else’s profile or there’s always someone tweeting about someone or something that happened the night before or happening at the moment. Other’s always sitting on LinkedIn trying to find a professional mentor or employer for a better future. These 3 major social media networks have already changed our lives so much that in a few years, everything be related to these networks. Right now there are still networking tools being used but in the future, without a doubt, Facebook will have applications being created and used by most companies which could possibly turn our to be a future trend.  LinkedIn is another network that is quickly developing into a major network for professionals to use for networking. LinkedIn helps make the job a lot easier for people since they can just be at home or at work and can find someone easily rather than going to places and or looking for employees or professionals any other way.

            In the future I believe there will be many different types of technologies coming out. One of the technologies that could possibly gain a lot of popularity would be touch technology such as IPhones but with other gadgets such as tablets or smaller phones. They’re already gaining popularity as I’ve noticed in the past few years but could also lose popularity as other technologies might come out and take over such as other companies rather than apple products coming out with iPhones or similar products. A lot of companies are already competing to make better products creating more and more competition which brings out more and more popularity in the products.
