The Next New Thing
Personally, I think in the near future, the new social media will continuously being very popular to every Internet user.
The new way of media should be classifying to different interest group of people, such as traveling, shopping, moving watching, music sharing and so on in the worldwide span. So users can group themselves into interest group and meet others in the same interest group. So they can interact with other users together to travel and shop or other activities. Of course the communication style still will be the combination of texting, pictures, voice, camera chatting, video sharing and such. This function in fact already using by some of social media web providers, but is not in the very specific area of dividing interest groups. So in the near future this function must be developed by some specific social media apps with some specific interest group of user to use. Currently, DEDE Taxi is one app that provides taxi riders in the same city to share taxi with other riders with similar direction to reduce commute fees.
Of course, in another 10 or 20 years with new technology new social media would appear instead of current/old social media. Technology could make everything possible with Chrono Cross technology. New social media always follows one step after the new technology. I hope in another 10 or 20 years we can be the witnesses to the new technology changes and new social media changes.
Your idea sounds like a much better version of what "MeetUp" tries to do today, except long distance and online. I wonder if this would lead to virtual chat rooms being created utilizing virtual reality goggles where people can just log in to a site about travel and sit in a virtual beach on a virtual Hawaii talking with other people about Hawaii, and yet actually being in your house the whole time.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea for an app. The idea of grouping people with similar interest is very interesting. It can lead to making new friends and exploring new places.
