I think there are big changes ahead for
social media. I looked back on my social media timeline earlier today and I noticed
the leaps that it has made in the time social media has been around. Although I
still use some of what is considered obsolete forms of social media, even they
have evolved to meet the changing needs of its users today.
It seems that we rely on social media for
everything these days. We connect with friends and family using social media;
we apply for jobs, and hear about the current events from social media. We are
even using social media to find our significant others.
Social media has changed the way we
communicate which has forced technology to keep up by allowing us to access our
social media tools from anywhere! The creation of lap tops and tablets and
smart phones has allowed us to continue to be a 24/7 society.
Where do I see social media going? I see
new forms of social media being created and current social media outlets
evolving to meet our ever changing needs. As we are introduced to more, we expect more.
What trends do I see happening? I see that we will eventually have no need for
office space. It sounds ridiculous but we are headed that way. With the
technology we have and the communication tools we are developing we will all be
working from home. When I was about ten years old (in 1990) the personal computer
began to gain popularity. It was rare for homes to have one and if you did you
were one of the lucky ones. Now a day it is seen as ridiculous if you don’t
have one. My daughter’s school allows them to bring their lap tops to school if
they have one. She is ten. She has a net book.
I can definitely see that in our near
future we won’t have to leave the couch for a job interview. You can use the
internet and social media to find out basically everything you need to know
about someone. We put everything on the internet.
social media is going to control our world but i disagree that we are not going to need office space. Also i don't think that we will be sitting in couches for our interview you will still need the face to face interview to meet the people.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your post and I love hoe you bring up the idea about how eventually people are going to be turning away from offices and working more at home as they have the technology to do it. Most of the things know a day are all online so really why would you have to go to work every day to work at a computer where you can access all of our work through your personal computer. It’s really crazy to see how quickly the use of technology continues to increase from time to time and it really makes us all wonder as to what to expect next and what the next innovation may be to evolve into something big such as social media tools like Facebook, Twitter etc. Overall I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading your post!
ReplyDeleteDo we ever unplug? You are very right Amanda we are a 24/7 society. The idea of no longer having a need for office space was a light bulb moment for me, wow how we have evolved how we do business. Thank you for the post.
