Future of Social Networks

Nobody knows what the future hold for social networking in the next 10 years. When social networking was first introduced, it offered something new within the communication networks. It created the ability to communicate information between groups and individuals. Before social network was introduced there were other forms of communication between people such as email, telephone and wireless networks. When social network was introduced, it became more popular than all other networks. People switched to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Linkedln.

However, I believe because of the increasing issue of privacy, social networking might one day become obsolete. Full privacy cannot be achieved in a social network, most networks provide few privacy options, if any, for the users.
