Technology has always been a big impact on everything in the world, especially when it comes to the entertainment industry. Recently, in the film industry 3D has become very trending. The evolution of film has changed rapidly over the decades. In the more recently time of the evolution, there has been high definition to blue-ray disc and now to 3D. I think society adapts to different trends all the time, that they are easily bored. This new trend of 3D is something different than what most are use to. The reality and illusions 3D gives makes people want it more and more. The economy is in a terrible state right now, however, movie theatre sales have not decreased and with almost every movie (action/adventure in particular) being featured in 3D, movie sales will continue to bring in money.
Another big trend in the technology world is social networking. Of coarse there have been social networks in the past like BlackPlanet and there was MySpace, which became pretty popular, however, Facebook has taken over completely. As many may know after watching The Social Network, Facebook wasn't for all individuals, it was mainly for college students. As it became more popular, it was offered to more groups of people. It is one of the most popular sites today with over 600 million users and now many companies have created fan pages to keep fans updated with their latest news. Another social network is Twitter, which is used by 175 million users. It is used by celebrities, companies and different individuals everyday. It has become a big part of the marketing world. Most of the world has become dependent on these new trends but there will always be something better to replace them, only time can tell. Can you imagine how the world and technology will be 5-10 years now?
Being a recent college graduate, I will be able to excel in these areas because, first I am a social network freak, two my institute has prepared be by using all these trends in my program. I have learned through marketing classes and research what trends are appropriate for different businesses.
