August 1, 2014 long ago, l&a social media founder Gina Redniac, a Sydney social media expert and strategic company, began to focus on the evolution of social media, watching their creators turn their minds from simple ideas into huge wealth and media empires. Redniac was surprised by the speed with which social media evolved, predicting 5 trends in the future of social media:
Everyone can be known worldwide in 15 seconds.
In the future, people can be known worldwide for 15 seconds of virtual video. It's quite possible that from YouTube sensations to Vine megastars, there's no doubt that more and more people will start enjoying themselves for 15 seconds. As social concerns continue to shrink, and micro-values are magnified infinitely, we will see a 15-second celebrity phenomenon increase to an incredible level.
The advent of the new geek era
Popular dating app Tinder is creating a new social model that changes the way we date. The app not only allows you to experience a game of dating, but also eliminates time intervals and distances to bring the digital world closer to the real world. What does that mean? Social networking sites can never replace face-to-head relationships, and the rise of mobile dating apps will lead to a continued decline in chance of accidental love. The dating market will increasingly focus on efficiency, people's immediate satisfaction and increased curiosity. We can immediately learn about other people's interests and personalities, but how do we look at ourselves?
Facebook to become a tech giant
Since his introduction of Facebook in his dorm room, Mark Zuckerberg has become one of the world's most valued companies, worth $135 billion. Still, countless people have questioned the future of Facebook lately. And as critics have made their point, Zuckerberg has begun a deft takeover, from WhatsApp to Ascenta in the UK. In the future, Facebook will continue to shift from the world's biggest social networking site to the tech giants.
Virtual reality and social network integration
In many smart mergers and acquisitions, Facebook's takeover of virtual reality equipment maker Oculus is the most anticipated. We suspect that Facebook has more plans for Oculus. As Zuckerberg himself once said, virtual reality is "the Platform of Tomorrow" and the opportunity to "change our work, our games and our way of communication." We want to know if the future of social media in the world will change with the university. This may not be predictable, but we can be sure that social media will change dramatically.
The future shape of wearable devices has also sparked controversy. They may be larger than smart watches and fitness bands, and you may see completely different products appearing. Think of the helmet with the built-in navigation system, the wearable outfit for the pet, and the buttons that can adjust the color of the clothes.
Will the MySpace tragedy be re-staged?
People often argue about when the next "MySpace Tragedy" will be staged. Unfortunately, a small change in user habits or ideas could crush a social media network overnight. It is hard to predict which social media giants today will encounter a similar fate for MySpace. Although MySpace does not have in-depth analysis, big data and the ability to learn from other networks, it is an important reason for its decline. But the real reason is that MySpace's evolution failed to meet customer demand.
