Neuro Web Design

The psychology of the Internet and social media is not something I'd really ever considered before, but after having read just these couple of chapters I've sort of come to see that creating online communities and successful social networking really is all about psychology. It's crazy to think about the history of the Internet and what it's initial design purpose was - communication, specifically workplace communication. And then sites like Classmates and Myspace happened, then later on Facebook. Social networking is still a form of communication, just social communication, not business communication. It makes me wonder, though, what's next? We've got email, we've got Facebook etc., we've got LinkedIn, we've got YouTube. We get television and radio over the Internet. We can do all of our shopping over the Internet. We can take classes over the Internet, and we can work exclusively from home thanks to the Internet. What else is there? We're studying and answering questions like 'what makes people click?' and 'why do some ideas stick?' But I think the real question is, Is there anything left? Are there any ideas that haven't already been thought of? It seems that every Internet market has been cornered, and every use for the Internet already exploited. At this point, it just seems like we're scraping the bottom of the barrel and recycling old ideas.
