Question 5:

Key predictions of social media for 2014:

1. Social media will almost become a necessity when applying for a job. Not only will you need social media for applying for a job but you will need it in your actual job itself.

2. Schooling and education facilities will start incorporating social media in the process of learning. Twitter is now being used in everyday lessons as it is easy and quick to use.

3. Advertising will be more prominent in video app e.g.: YouTube. Advertisers have found that YouTube has more advertising qualities and shows the advert to a wider spectrum of people.

4. Video will become a huge way to interact with each other. Apps such as snapchat are seen to be almost influential for people within the age of 13-25. Video is seen to be a very promising aspect to be used in the future.

5. Facebook is seen to become very popular in work places as it can be used to chat rather than going to an office which has no space to talk in person. If that makes any sense .  Co-workers seem to be more easy going when it comes to talking to other co-workers as to when a boss to a person of higher importance is in the room.

A digital footprint is all the information that a person leaves behind about themselves within the internet. For example having a facbook page will mean that a person has a digital footprint.
