This is the End, My Friend


So my final blog post for the semester, we’ve had some good times, some bad times and overall some laughs. I’m actually going to miss writing these blog posts, they were fun! Maybe I will continue! Depending on whether I can be bothered or not (most likely not)



Future trends for social media? Honestly? I think smartphones, smart phones combined with social networking (Facebook, Twitter) will be where we’re headed, because the trend of smartphones isn’t dying yet, until Apple stop making them, or somehow damage their reputation, smartphones will continue to exist, and even then something better will come along that could do twice is much. But this new age of mobile social media is definitely going to continue and spread even further.
Although, not so much with advertising on Facebook, (as that was clearly a flop, lol Zuckerberg, more like Suckerberg! Am I right? Wow, nope, that was terrible. Moving right along...)
But, more so a connection with Twitter and developing traditional forms of media to be more interactive and social.



I think we’re going to see a lot more blogs, of people who are both advertisers and users of products, word of mouth online is a huge deal and will always be the reason behind peoples purchases online and that this will be developed even further, by advertisers trying to persuade buyers by being the anonymous buyer who was ‘highly satisfied’ with this product, etc. which kinda sucks!

But anyway, I think  that social media and being ‘mobile’ is going to become the new big thing, well, bigger than it is now. Sorry to say this, but going out to a restaurant with your friends whilst constantly texting someone and barely talking to them will be the new thing. Actually speaking to someone will be considered out of the ordinary. More business and advertising on websites and social networking sites, and text messages will be more popular than ever, I get the feeling most business meetings or interviews will start to be over the phone and most business deals will be online, essentially, everything will go online.

                                              Exhibit A

Oh and Google will probably take over the world also. Give it, 10 years max? and as I type this my laptop is telling me that “google” is an incorrect word because I didn’t put a capital ‘G’ at the start! Well sooorrrry. my point proven right there.
Wow there's even a website for it! http://googleworlddomination.com/
And the internet will own everything! All your personal information and detailed info SOLD to businesses and advertisers around the world! Boom!
