Predict the next viral social media craze

    Somebody, somewhere, starts something, others follow.

    Let's start something.

    My suggestions are as follows:

    i) Stay in bed all day for depression.
    ii) Cut yourself for haemophilia.
    iii) Talk to yourself for schizophrenia.
    iv) Hug a monkey for Ebola.

    We can go viral with the right suggestion, here, not literally in the case of the Ebola one, hopefully.

    Do a slanty eyed face selfie to raise awareness of racism.

    Although I think the Spanish basketball team did this before and it didn't go well for them.

    Vertical Video Awareness.

    People need to know that phones can be held sideways, for a more natural aspect ratio. We dont view the world as if we're looking through a missing panel in a garden fence, don't video things this way.

    My prediction: the return of the Yo-Yo. It's a bit overdue already. That which is Old shall be New again. :cool:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Wouldn't work as the blood transfusion service are only in regional towns every few months (if even that) and so there'd be no urgency or drive with it and it'd be forgotten very quickly, unfortunately.

    Snapchat was a step too far. Social media should stay where it is until better methods are developed for reducing the risks young people have to take.

    Extremely worthy idea.
    However, unless there is narcissism involved then generation 'whatever letter of the alphabet they are using these days' will not be interested.

    I want happy slapping to make a come back on the condition that those doing the slapping were around the first time it was a craze and were around when you could easily get Tango in shops.

    It would just be a load of adults slapping kids shouting:
    YOU'VE JUST BEEN TANGO'D!!

    Ludite, that is as much as saying "ohh in my day social media was carving your name into a tree"

    It will evolve how it evolves, stifling innovation to absolve parents of their responsibilities to monitor their own children's activities is ridiculous
