'What will happen next? The role of Twitter and social networking sites' Discuss and write an overview of your findings.

Currently social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook have integrated into society to become a factor into every day lives. Personally I check my social networking sites a couple of times a day, and this is just due to the generation I have grown up in and the advancements of technology over the past decade. 

I think that the popularity of social networking websites will continue to grow as even people from past generations are starting to create accounts on these websites. You can access them on computers, smart phones and tablets, showing the accessibility of these websites. However a film is due to come out called 'Unfriended' where a girl haunts the people who posted a video of her on Facebook which resulted in her taking her own life. I see this as a warning tale, emphasising the potential circumstances that can take place through social media abuse.

I think that social networking sites will soon become societies main outlet for communicating with friends and family. It will not be long till people stop communicating via telephone as pretty much everyone now-a-days has some form of social media in their lives if not multiple.

  1. • Interesting Connor, a good link to the film and how audiences will be more aware of the negatives of social media capabilities.
    • A few minor spelling and grammar - 'spag' areas to double check please. Re-read.
    • A little on the thin side as I feel you can discuss far more especially linking into modern theorists - see your ref material we have been working on in class.

    Update and see what you can find please. Good start. (L2)
