Social Media Free-Writing

I'm a little curious what the intentions of this video were. I think it was portrayed in a way that was supposed to startle us, and make us feel like we're losing ground if our companies, social experiences, etc. haven't moved to electronic methods. However, I do believe that the internet is JUST a fad. Let's look back many years ago, and I'm sure that those who invented the newspaper thought it was a real breakthrough. Now, the newspaper industry is losing a ton of money, because people hardly show any interest in the paper anymore. Electronic methods have completely replaced our interest in the newspaper system. I think that the same thing will happen with the internet within the next century. Technology is ever-expanding, and NOTHING is irreplacable, or unfixable. Soon we'll be able to talk to our friends through holigraphic visuals that we can hold in our hands. Technology really has no end to its capabilities. Yes, the internet is astounding. It's awesome that I can watch the episode I missed of Jersey Shore on MTV.com, and it's incredible that I can send personal messages in just seconds to people on Facebook. Still, there are a lot of flaws in the internet. Wireless routers are very inconsistent at times, computers are susceptible to hacking, and search engines aren't as accurate as we'd like. All of these problems can, and will, be fixed someday. We won't have to "connect" to an internet, internet will be installed into every computer, and it will be fed through the sun's energy. Although this FAD may last up to another couple centuries, technology will change. The internet will lose it's appeal, and inventors will develop even newer, and cooler, ways of presenting information.
