Our final lecture was focused on the future of social media. Shane asked us to split into groups and had a few questions he wanted us to discuss. He asked us "Have we accomplished Tim Berner Lee's vision of a semantic web?", "What will come next?" and "Who will take us there?". We all had different ideas on the matter and it was very interesting to listen to other people's opinions. We then had another group exercise in which we were to discuss which social media tool do we think will evolve in the next 6 months, what is the long term prospect of this tool and what three major ideas do you think holds for social media in 2020. Again, we all had different ideas and I was fascinated to hear valid of others. I believe that by 2020, Facebook will still be the leading social media site. I also believe that social media sites like Instagram, Twitter, Yik Yak etc. will begin to fade.
We finished the lecture by talking about the group projects and our individual blogs which are to be completed by Friday and Monday respectively.
