1) I believe that production quality will continue to get better for amateur user-generated videos. Although many people enjoy the realistic depictions shown in many commercials and television shows there is also a strong movement towards high definition and 3D filming. As technology progresses these types of productions will become the norm for television, as well as a progression in amateur films.
2) I find myself using facebook and twitter. Facebook is a great place for social networking because it allows you to experience a portion of a friends life quickly and easily, while twitter is convenient for me to use on my smart phone and it allows me to quickly skim through multiple people's jokes and opinions. I believe the layout of facebook as well as its user friendly features made it more successful then MySpace. MySpace had an extremely basic outlay without many of the features that drew people towards Facebook. Facebook continues to make adjustments and changes to keep it relevant therefore I believe it is here to stay.
3) Transparency has become such an important concept in social media because in today's digital age much of business operations, news, and personal information can be through these arenas. When using the internet people can hide behind false names or descriptions and allow for untruthful or slanderous material to be leaked out. I believe transparency is just as, if not more, important in the offline world. It is understandable not to trust what is seen on the internet, however, once faith is lost in the real world then nothing said or written will be perceived as accurate.
