Traditional Media

In an article found online at http://technology.inquirer.net/7499/technology-seen-as-shifting-power-of-traditional-media-to-people/, the author argues that traditional media, will soon become completely overtaken by social media. Where, it used to be that people would be hired to work for the media because of their writing, communication, or technical skills, it will soon be that people are either hired because of their social media skills, or simply not hired at all because of the convenience of social media as a form of publicity, companies will no longer see the need for traditional media advertising or communicating. It is a scary thing, how our world continues to be put online. Soon, there will be no need to go to school, the doctors, or music lessons--nearly EVERYTHING will be available online. It already is. Is the next generation going to spend their lives communicating, socializing, and networking solely through social media? Or will there still be a need for traditional media? It's scary to think what could happen to peoples talents if all efforts were out towards online media, rather than traditional. As more and more social media sites become popular the more traditional media is put on the back burner.
