Social networking is the result of the internet revolution, and the experts are now saying there is not all that much left to come and we are now at the end of the social networking history.
At a discussion at the University of Oxford Saïd Business School, it was said “that the computer age culminated in the internet, the internet culminated in social networks, and that we'll have to look extremely far afield for what is next."
It was one person’s opinion that social networking will continue to exist but for true future innovation we will have to look “back to the science fiction of the 1950s.”
Others didn’t share that opinion but did agree that the way social networking has been established will stay the same but will be centered on mobile phones and not be just computer based.
What they think is interesting is how people work social networking into their lives and how we will use the massive amounts of information that is put into them. We may start getting advice on who to meet professionally or what job to go for in the same way that facebook recommends who you should be friends with.
The fascinating thing about the future of social networking is how it will change people and societies. Twitter co-founder believes that “Twitter and other sites that make communication more public can genuinely change human behavior for the better.”
Open people are more engaging, and tend to be more empathetic, becoming a global citizen. Technology that helps us do this will help us "move forward as a species.”
