Describe your idea(s) about the future of digital social networking services.

I think that the future of social networking is definitely going to be more integrated into our daily lives. For example, more and more media are being transferred to digital media to the point where the print industry is already being threatened. The next thing you know, companies might no longer request you to bring in a resume or a business card and just reference your social networking profile like LinkedIn. At this point, social networking will continue to balloon and people will invest in these companies such as Facebook and Youtube which will only contribute to making them even more valuable. Free communication and personal representation/expression has never been so easy which is one of social networking's primary qualities that continues to draw millions of users everyday. One day in the future, an ordinary cellphone will become obsolete and everyone will have a PDA phone with internet access and apps to get to their social network and people will be constantly connected 24/7. Its use might be so widespread that it might even compete with emails which are a standard must have for most organizations, companies and educational institutions to name a few. It definitely eliminates many barriers and brings people together conveniently and although it may sound far fetched to some, I wouldn't be surprised anymore if people get married on Facebook or lessons/lectures are assigned and distributed through Twitter at the rate that people check their social networking accounts each day.
