g, but if what I mentioned above can really become true? In my opinion, it will have a great impact on society. People may have concern on their safety even though they do not really touch another other in a virtual world. However, the touching will be so realistic that it will be difficult for them to differentiate. Therefore, if such technology is adapted, Social Networking sites will have to thoroughly screen new applicants beforeThe Internet has been very popular place to meet new friends. Recently there was an article on the Australian version of the Reader's Digest about meeting the someone special in cyberspace. Members of one particular website mentioned were able to present themselves to one another as 3D avatars in a virtual world. That was a great advancement in technology. One may wonder what the further may hold for Social Networking. Based on my experience with a few Social Networking sites, and the technology I have experienced, here is what I think may happen:

1. It will be more common for members to appear on live videos on social networking sites. All you have to do is to click on a nickname of a member to view his or her introduction video. It is also possible that such videos are in 3D, and you do not have to put on anything special to view them.

2. A member will be able be at the same place together virtually with another member without having to leave their PCs. For example, a female member from England can spend time together with his American boyfriend in Japan without leaving their homes.

3. Members can see each other as real people virtually instead of as avatars. The 3D images of members will be transported live to a virtual place instantly where they can met with one another. Technology will also allows each member to touch one another even though in reality they are no where near at all.

4. Members can play a sport together in a virtual field without really having to move away from their PCs.

5. Members can attend a recital performed by a member in a virtual 3D concert hall while still at the front of their PCs.

No one knows what the future may hold especially for Social Networking, but if what I mentioned above can really become true? In my opinion, it will have a great impact on society. People may have concern on their safety even though they do not really touch another other in a virtual world. However, the touching will be so realistic that it will be difficult for them to differentiate.
