Week 12

In our final week, we were looking towards the future, and what it held for social media. Internet activity and technology have drastically developed in the last two decades. Just think about how much growing there's left. Shane discussed with us a few theories about what we are to expect. 

I read the article on blackboard  "The future of social media according to Vice" and I thought it was enlightening. They were interviewing normal people, asking them if they think technology will decline or develop. 

Generally people had the view that it would continue to grow and thrive. I agree with these people, and if the growth is as rapid as it has been, it's scary to think how much of a role it will play in our lives. 

Even now I feel we are drifting further away from reality. I hope that through the development of social media over the years, we stay connected to humanity. 

Shane also took us through some of the more recent trends and we discovered that WhatsApps user base has increased by a massive 100 million since the start of this year.
