Social Networking



As time has passed, people have developed new ways in which they can interact with one another. The mediums for doing so have changed drastically over the last 2 centuries. From writing letters, to sending emails, to finally being able to use your smartphone as a permanent connection, technology has advanced so quickly, that it begs the question, what next?

With these changes in technology, comes the companies willing to take the initiative in developing the "next big thing". Microsoft, Apple, Google are among the names who have made massive profits from simple ideas that seemed so unbelievable just years before they became the norm.

My view is that we've pretty much hit the roof of the current generation of devices / applications and connections with which we communicate with other people. The current crop of innovative designers, programmers, etc are wearing thin. We need something new, something fresh, and more importantly, something to connect us in ways like never before.

So, what do you think will be the next big step?
