How do you think social media will change in the future? What other trends would you add to the mix? Are they any specific technologies that you think will gain popularity or emerge?

In my opinion, the social media will certainly become more and more popular in the future. There will have more people from different ages  join the social media such as facebook, twitter, and MSN space. so we can have the better communication in the social media. In the future, we can work at home at the most time, and have classes on the social media, dating someone. It will totally chang our life style.According to the fact that social media growing so fast, the traditional media such as TV, radio, newspaper will try to mix with the social media otherwise they will finally disappear. So in the later few years, i think we will see more combinations of social media and traditional media. For example, the editor will write the news but not appear on the newpaper and just appear on the social media. And TV station will connect with the youtube and have everthing on the youtube. Because there are not so many people watch TV on our age.

For the specific technologies will gain popularity , i think is facebook or something like that. Because everyone need to communicate with others. we also want to get more communication on the social media. and the facebook can connect with our real life which is the most important thing. It will become more and more popular, and there will be more similar website will appear in differetn country. In China, we have RENREN which is a very popular media website like facebook.
