8. DIFFICULTIES TO PREDICT
• Consider twenty years ago from now. In 1995 the Internet began to be popular and
email was the main method to communicate over the Internet.
• In those days no one predict the advent of smartphones and tablets and high speed
wireless connection.
• Therefore it is very difficult to predict social interaction in net ten years exactly.

9. POSSIBLE SOCIAL INTERACTION
• Because technologies of IoT is now developing, things, which is connected to the
Internet, could be involved in SNS.
Example: Medical diagnostic service
• It is still difficult to predict.
• But privacy issue becomes more important.

10. POSSIBLE SOCIAL INTERACTION
• From the point of technological development, consider Apple watch and Google
Glass are good example of wearable terminals.
• This enables people to always be connected to the Internet.
• In the future, people can enjoy video talk through wearable terminals.

11. PRIVACY CONCERNS
• Because of the advent of technology, privacies can be transparent.
Example: Facebook’s news feed can capture pictures of the uploader’s
smartphone. But geolocation tag and time tamp are also
added to the picture.
• This means that the uploader’s precise location is revealed.

12. PRIVACY CONCERNS
• Because of the previous example, people must be aware of the disadvantages of
SNS and technology.
• For security area, social engineering through SNS is big concern.
• Easy to track people like the society in the novel “1984”.

13. CONCLUSION
• It is very difficult to exactly predict human interaction in the future.
• But it is clear that human interaction becomes more close and easy though the
Internet.
• Everything my be connected to the Internet and things connected to the Internet
can be involved in SNS.
• But there will be great privacy issues.
