How will 10 be the most popular social media tool
Is this the case with Facebook?
This is relatively unlikely, says Todd Wasserman in an article on mashable.com.
"Facebook will never completely leave the online scene. However, the Facebook of 2024 will be completely different from today. "First of all, the company will continue to evolve and transform from a social media company to a more traditional media company," he says.
Several long-term trends will lead to this transformation, including the rise of smaller, private networks, emerging platforms and growth in developing countries.
Customize the Smart Mobile Environment
Η change from the desktop to the smart phone environment seems to have changed the way people behave on social media, or at least how they define their behavior.
A few years ago, young people were considered "showcases" who had none suspension and no qualms about sharing their personal data with the world "out there".
Mobile telephony has changed this. Now new users are very protective of their privacy.
Around the same time, Facebook turned into something of a junior version of LinkedIn, but it's a space that doesn't require much caution.
According to recent studies, 20es use Facebook more than teens and even younger, even less.
As Mark Zuckerberg has said, Snapchat has managed to respond to the need for more personal interactions in social networking media.
Messenger is an application for mobile phones that came out in August of 2011. However, it was not considered a substitute for text messages from the outset. Besides, if someone was not your friend on Facebook, you could not send him a message.
Facebook, however, has adapted itself to that. What is Facebook, if not a way to connect with others?
In the future, we expect to see more and more applications such as Paper, which the company recently presented.
The next 10 years
Looking to the future, most people are envisioning an internet world that you can carry with you on your mobile phone or tablet, rather than the desktop.
The eMarketer predicts that up to 2017, about 2,5 billions of people will use smart mobile phones. Today this number is 1,75 billion.
Facebook will begin to behave as a media company, launching applications that will meet the new market needs.
These needs may be passed from mobile telephony to "portable" (rather than simply portable) computers. Facebook is already in Google Glass. And if smartwatches "catch", Facebook will want to be a pioneer and there.
He will also not only offer his services to the "rich". Last July, Facebook announced that "Facebook For Every Phone" had reached 100 by millions of users. But billions of consumers in developing countries are a target market for the company. Remember the figure we mentioned above: 2,5 billion users up to 2017.
In other words, because of the development of new mobile platforms and their growing presence in developing countries, Facebook will adapt accordingly in many different forms.
A media company
The first 10 years modeFacebook was primarily a way to connect with friends.
Over the next decade, as it competes with other media such as Twitter, Google+, and others, Facebook should offer something more.
One possibility is to create content, such as television programs, even though the company is currently denying it, which will inevitably lead it to lose its "identity" as a means of social networking.
