The Future of Social Media Communication: Virtual Reality in 2030

In present day, we rely on photos and videos to show evidence of our lives to our friends. In the year 2030, virtual reality will be a standardized method of communicating. Instead of browsing a social media site to view a friend’s day, the option to tap into their view through a virtual reality system will bring us closer together. Gaps between extended family members due to expensive flights will be bridged through virtual reality devices. Communication and friendship will become closer and more realistic.

By the year 2030, many of our everyday items will be replaced by artificial intelligence, connecting our lives to social media. Some predictions to become extinct/replaced include: secretaries, car & house keys, customer service, etc.

Attached is an infographic on a potential extinction timeline, with some humour and satire added, “not to be taken too seriously”.

Public Rating of Social Interaction in 2030

              Social media has always been an unofficial method of assessing one’s social status and reputation. Employers will often research potential employees, and one’s social media presence can impact whether or not an individual gets hired. In present day, to overcome this we can choose not to participate in social media, or adjust privacy settings and be cautious about what we post.

              In the year 2030, we may not have this option.

              China is in the process of developing a Social Credit System to be publicly rated based on their every interaction in society. This system is due to be released in 2020. By the year 2030, public social rating may be prevalent across North America as well.

Wearable Tech is the Future

In present day, wearable technology used to engage with social media mainly exists in the form of smart watches or Fitbits. Social media accessing through glasses and fitness tracking shoes have recently been released as well.

In the year 2030, wearable technology will extend to our clothing. Companies have already begun to design possibilities for temperature adjusting wearables (FuelWear Team, 2014), and fitness tracking shirts! (Henderson, 2014).

Social Media in 2030: inescapable

              In present day, communication has become easier and faster, which makes it difficult to find a moment of solitude. Messages are instant and have read receipts to let the sender know that you are purposely choosing to ignore their message. The days of phone calls have turned into video calls and Snapchats. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is an ever prevalent issue. However, in present day, it is possible to exist without a social media account. Those who choose not to partake are laughed at, but not entirely shunned from society. Social media, in present day, is an entity separate from “the real world”.

              Fast forward to 2030:

In 2030, social media will simply be integrated in everything we do. It will cease to exist as a separate entity, and instead be a natural part of socialization and media. With the rise of wearable technology and smart devices, all of the inanimate objects we interact with will be connected. Life without social media will cease to exist. We will be “logged on” with every bit of technology we interact with, allowing for fully customized experience.
