technologies …

5. This trend is likely to continue within 10 years…
The experts’ opinions on the portable future of social
media and its impact are split.
Innovations may significantly change the entire
industry and the future of social interaction.
Despite positive side, the concerns regarding the
social media’s negative impact might increase. This,
in turn, will stimulate to regulate the usage of social
media ( ethic rules, restrictions for kids and teens).
However
6. What are the Predictions
on the Future
of Social Media and its impact?
“I think it’s pretty easy to imagine that in the future we will have something that we can either
wear — and it’ll look like normal glasses. And you’ll just be able to have context with what’s
going on around you in the world and communicate with people and not have to disrupt your
conversations by looking down.”- Marc Zuckerberg
Human nature isn’t changing; there’s laziness,
bullying, stalking, stupidity, pornography, dirty tricks, crime, and those who practice them have
new capacity to make life miserable for others.
Information sharing over the Internet will be so effortlessly interwoven
into daily life that it will become invisible, flowing like electricity,
often through machine intermediaries.
7. Technology was meant to solve specific problems, but didn’t it
bring certain problems?
Sense of isolation due to social media addiction and lack of real
communication
“Studies show that only 7% of communication is based on the written or verbal word. 93% is based
on nonverbal body language. Indeed, it’s only when we can hear a tone of voice or look into
someone’s eyes that we’re able to know when “I’m fine” doesn’t mean they’re fine at all…”
Lack of focus due to constant distractions to check social media sites
Creating fake profiles, violating privacy and cyber bullying
The Olivia Haters Club: The new phenomenon called cyber bullying was the focus of a thirteen-
year-old girl’s existence in 2006. Olivia Gardner has epilepsy, and inspired a mean girls’ club
called "Olivia Haters" that kids from her middle school set up on MySpace. Gardner’s family could
not charge the girls with any sort of crime, but it was still a shocking revelation for them.
8. CONCLUSION
Technologies, in particular social media development has largely
influenced human interaction.
With emergence of social media we have witnessed increasing sociability,
but a different kind of sociability. Social media has also fostered global
connectivity and provided more opportunities by quick information
sharing.
These positive effects are most likely to continue for the next 10 years.
– However, the excessive and unethical usage of social media poses
concerns. This may lead to greater regulation of social media.
– We also can not predict all possible innovations and their effects.
