We have come to the point where social media is becoming over saturated
Instagram is becoming a place to feed egos of people with insecurities.
Tindr,Okcupid & Plenty of Fish are just becoming sites for finding meaningless
hookups Equating to nothing.

Do not get me wrong sites like Youtube & twitter skype will still become staples.
Twitter & Facebook is how things like occupy wallstreet gets supporters.
Youtube is also need from an historical standpoint. It is like a video
encyclopedia. Apps like uber will not go anywhere either.


What I am trying to say is the whole not going outside
and acting awkward phase we have been through since like 2009
will end in a few years. People will go outside again. People will be sick of digital.
More like how record sales in shops have gotten better sales than Cds. It is because
people want to touch something. People want to hold something.


There is going to be a social media backlash. It is already brewing right now
with people deleting their instagram and facebooks, but it is not on a widespread level.
By 2020 I can see a huge ant-social media movement happening, even being embarrassed
of some of the things we said to one another or posted.

It's only gonna get bigger hehe

Don't cut yourself with all that edge.

I actually sort of agree. I think that people are slowly realizing that the only way to find happiness, and real functioning relationships is to get your ass up and get some authentic human interaction.

I REALLY hope so!

I hope so. Social Media has become so trashy. Even old people are acting a mess on it now you know we lost it.

I agree with the first post.



edité: the mods removed it. Anyway I really doubt social media is going away any time soon.

Disagree. The influence of social media will only grow as the world becomes more interconnected and as more teenagers grow up with it ingrained into their lives.

Even if you were going to predict the demise of social media, it won't happen in 5 years.

never. the younger generations just get it earlier and earlier, if anything it will be growing exponentially in 2020

It's only going to get bigger and bigger, lbr

not gonna happen

The cleanup

I will but more likely in 2030.

It won't die, but it will evolve. I remember my sister (she works in social media) telling my friends and I at some point in 2009 that Facebook "will eventually die out, similar to what happened to myspace. It will be replaced by something else" and we were all like "pffft yeah right" and now we all use Instagram and Snapchat.

But Facebook is bigger than ever right now. The statistics they posted in the past few days prove it

I agree with the poster that said it'll evolve.

New sites will come up and sites like FB will end up like friendster and MySpace

The whole "social media is keeping us on our computers and phones instead of going outside and meeting with our friends in real life" has always confused me. Do people really do that?

Everyone I know, or am at least connected with, seems to use Facebook in a beneficial way. It helps me become more friendly with people online, actively interacting with people and chatting in group chats, and that allows me to make plans and go out more than I would without Facebook. I don't know people who actually use Facebook as a substitute for meeting people in real life. Am I just not seeing it? I really can't comprehend it being that detrimental to people.
