ADVANCES IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Social networking is a communication tool via the Internet. The most popular are Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn. You can find an old friend, a long lost uncle or even a job. The information is there to be debated and disected to exhaustion. The dangers are also there and must be realized before an unfortunate encounter takes place. To go about carelessly and foolishly displaying information of a personal nature may damage of even ruin one’s reputation, so be careful!

According to the journal article: Social Networked Media: Advances and Trends (Izquierdo),

3-D glasses in action!

The future of social media interaction is evolving from a new generation of media tools into a richer, more life-like multimedia experience for web users. The progression of these tools is likely to include the 3-D element that has become popular in the motion picture industry and in Television. This feature would greatly enhance the experience and provide for a more personal perspective to social networking than the current text-based interaction. Capturing the user emotional state and physical activity would be key to this interaction and of course would be heavily technology dependent and requiring resources currently not available on most devices.
