How Will Communication Evolve Next?

Communication is never not changing.

It’s not its nature to be stale and predictable, which is what makes the next few years so compelling.

Communication has now evolved to the point that it can cater to a wide variety of preferences and to a

great number of devices, which in of itself is remarkable.

It also begs the question of where is communication actually headed to next?

Consider that in the last few years, technology has enabled people to go from using their mobile phones

just for texts and calls to now allowing them to do those same things while also adding more

functionality in the form of support for social media apps.

Apps such as the Facebook Messenger, Twitter and Snapchat have changed the way people

communicate and they are also hinting at what may be coming next.

With communication and messaging apps becoming even more prevalent, it’s not at all difficult to

imagine innovators improving upon them even further.

The next evolution of communication could very well come in the form of new apps that are now

designed specifically for certain mobile devices, thus granting users a greater level of exclusivity.

Perhaps another evolution could come in the form of messaging apps that can function online but only

for specific devices as well.

Messaging apps have also evolved to the point now that they can also integrate other media in the form

of photos and videos. With continued innovation, messaging apps could continue down this path as

well.

VR, or virtual reality, is also making its way into the gaming industry, and it’s not hard to imagine the

same type of technology soon figuring its way into the way people communicate.

Even at this early juncture, such an idea is already exciting to ponder and it too could be hinting at

what’s next for communication.

There’s still a lot that’s unknown about what will be happening to communication, but one thing’s for

sure; it won’t be standing still.
