Individual Reflection: Adrian Preda
<< We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths - Walt Disney. >> As the parent of Mickey Mouse stated in his mid-ages, curiosity is the key for opening new paths. In our era, the phenomenon of social media gathers a significant amount of curiosity. Even if it is still under development, the social media channels currently connect an important percentage of the population of the globe throughout the internet.
Moreover, we are witnesses of the tech evolution which brings the social media channels even closer to our life, through smartphones, watches, laptops and other gadgets. We expect that the cloud synchronisation of these devices will be even more improved in the next 10 years, judging upon the latest acquisitions of the big social media players. Facebook for example acquired in March, 2014 the Oculus VR Company, which is the leader in virtual reality technology while Google has announced plans to buy thermostat maker Nest Labs. So, we can expect that the social media environment will feel more ‘real’ and close to our personal lives, while it will definitely be more affordable and accessible for every human being in the following period.
To conclude, if at the moment, most of the social media platforms are key ingredients towards a more sociable lifestyle, they will certainly change their role in the future, and will represent the proof of existence of each of us!
