2. Media In Five Years
In five years media will still be heavily consumed through online and digital based web platforms such as, Facebook, Instagram,
Twitter, and Youtube. I foresee a future that continues to use Media platforms as a way to raise awareness for people to have a place
to speak their minds freely in a way to bring light to those who are being repressed. The power of social will continue to grow and
make a grave impact on the ideals, trend, and news that surround us.
According to Mary Catherine Wellons, at CNBC.com (2014) 11 Predictions on the future of social media. “Today there are 1.3 billion
active Facebook users, with 82 percent of them coming from outside the U.S. and Canada. Twitter boasts 270 million active users that
send 500 million tweets per day. And each day, 4 billion videos are viewed on YouTube (that’s 49,296 per second) and 60 million
photos are uploaded on Instagram.”
With that being said, there will only be more exponential growth within media, because there will be even more newly developed
platforms created within the next upcoming five years.

Such things on this channel would include: Everything retro, a blast from the past, roaring 20’s “jazz age”, and fashion. Also
connection between the past and present and commonalities between trends from the past and today. Such things as
generational and traditional trends (music, art, and fashion).
An example of this could be:
The difference or the commonalities teens of the 90’s vs. teens of the 00’s. Another example would be a guest appearance of
some of the personalities from Ladylike, to dress up or do a fashion tutorial and makeup tutorial from past trends
I think this would be a great way for people to connect to the past and see what trends led to the future, and what we continue
to see today through fashion, music, art, and literature today
