Well, five years down the line since it all seriously started with Facebook, the phenomenon will be dominating the scene on all levels. From marketing, advertising, communicating, chatting, investing, and so many other domains, social media is transforming and drastically changing the face of conventional communication. It is astonishing how this is all taking place in the speed of light, literally! A couple of years ago, i wanted to pursue a Masters degree in which I would study the impact of social media on the way human beings are and will be communicating. Now i believe this topic is more valid to our times, and will be even more vital in the future. Are we going to be pure phone and computer communicators?
Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and so many others have taken advantage of our subconscious need to be social. By logging on to the internet and having accounts here and there, we are meeting the demands of our social beings by trying to meet global people, get involved in cyber-communities, create groups, practice our right to speak and feel free, and learn about the world. And never has this been easy before as it is nowadays. The question of where we are actually going to in ten or twenty years is always valid. Yet, this is all part of our human development which has accelerated rapidly during the last two decades.
It might be a privilege nowadays to have an account on Facebook or elsewhere, despite the multitudes of social problems it might be creating. What makes it more interesting is that everyone is literally having a share of the huge cake: companies, celebs, personalities, politicians, NGOs, and so on. It will be absolutely interesting to see and monitor how social media will be dominating the scene in the future by transforming the way we speak to each other. But will there be ever a new phenomenon that will surpass social media outlets? Wait and see!
