In this excerpt from Understanding Social Media: How to Create a Plan for Your Business That
Works, digital marketing expert Simon Kingsnorth presents 10 predictions on the future.
If we continue to believe in Moore’s law, which has proved itself reliable to date, then we can
expect significant increases in computer and internet connection speed over the coming years.
If we consider Google’s Loon project we can also expect the number of internet users to grow
as internet penetration grows. If we assume that consumer confidence in the internet also
continues to grow then we can expect more people to shop online, and if we look at Amazon’s
delivery drones then we can see this becoming the norm.
All of the above indicates to me that there are several directions that social media will take, and
so I will conclude by making some bold forecasts. Biz Stone, founder of Twitter, recently stated
that he believes social media is ‘just getting started’. So there is a long road ahead, and I would
encourage you to try to expand on this list:
1. Social media will make all of its content, including individual posts, searchable via
Google.
3. Social media sites operating within specific verticals will have increasing success, such
as sport, finance, automotive, music, film and other large-volume opportunities.
4. Social pages will become more conducive to enabling customers to respond directly
without creating potential brand damage.
5. Creating and sharing media will become increasingly easy as wearable technology
becomes mainstream.
6. Businesses will get smarter about how they use social. No longer shouting about their
greatness, they will develop strong content strategies and have unique strategies for
each social channel, only operating on the channels that are relevant.
7. Everything will be mobile. Responsive and able to work on any device will be the norm.
Pinching and swiping to try to read content will disappear as a concept. Social will be at
the heart of this as it reaches 100 per cent mobile usage.
8. People will use social media more to partake in crowd-based activities with individuals
that they don’t know but do have things in common with. Crowdfunding and peer-to-peer
lending opportunities will grow. The world will increasingly become one community.
9. SMS text messaging will virtually disappear, perhaps only remaining for emergencies,
as messaging apps take over.
10. Cloud content will increase as people become comfortable with the concept and begin
to release their psychological attachment to ownership. This will further enable sharing.

Military and Indonesian politician A.H. Nasution was born in Kotanopan (Sumatra) in
1918. After becoming a hero in the struggle for the independence of Indonesia, became to
occupy important positions in the Government of the country.
He studied at the Academia Militar Dutch Bandung, where he graduated with the degree
of officer. During the second world war he served in the army of the Dutch Indies. At the
outbreak of the war of independence in Indonesia, he led one of the major guerrilla groups
fighting on the island of Java against the Dutch, who refused to accept that the Declaration of
independence on August 17, 1945 spread beyond this island. After the promulgation of the
Constitution of 1950, Indonesia is stating a unitary Republic, he was appointed head of the
largest state of the Indonesian army. Sukarno, who had won in the elections of 1957, at the
head of his party's nationalist-minded appointed him to the post of Chairman of the Board of
Chiefs of staff. In 1959 he joined the Government as Minister of Defense, a position he would
occupy until 1966.
On October 1, 1965 he had to face from his post to the coup d'Etat led by the head of
the presidential guard, lieutenant general Untung. The coup attempt, known as of September
30, which presumably had the support of Sukarno, were joined the Communist Party and
several military prochinos. The rebels stopped and killed six General of staff of the army, but
failed in his attempt to stop to Nasution. He was wounded when trying to escape from his house
to save life and he could not prevent the death of his daughter and his assistant. Once stifled
the revolt, order in Jakarta was restored and the activities of the Communist Party were
banned. The violent repression that followed the restoration of the order caused at least
500,000 dead in Java and Bali between militants of the left-wing parties and the members of
suspect loyalty of the army. Nasution, who accused China of being behind the rebels, promoted
a campaign of violence against the inhabitants of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia.
On December 14, 1965, Nasution was named President of the Supreme operational
command, institution that took some of the powers of the Government in its foundation decree
by Sukarno. Gradually it was becoming the strongest man of the country, since the Supreme
operational command was stripping to Sukarno of almost all its powers. The great personalities
who opposed his actions were subject to summary processes and imprisoned. His opinion was
decisive for Suharto was appointed head of Government in 1966. In a last attempt to retain
power, Sukarno deposed on February 21, 1966 as Minister of Defense, prompting sparking
violent protests which forced Sukarno to resign and to hand over all powers to Suharto on 11
April of the same year. When the new Government was formed he became the Chair of the
Advisory people's Congress, which remained until 1972, in which retired from public life. In
1979 he published a history in eleven volumes on the struggle for independence in Indonesia.

Born on September 4, 1962, in Osaka, Shinya Yamanaka was a Japanese physician and
researcher who developed a revolutionary method for generating stem cells from existing cells
of the body. This method involved inserting specific genes into the nuclei of adult cells, a
process that resulted in the reversion of cells from an adult state to a pluripotent state.
Yamanaka received a Ph.D. in pharmacology from the Osaka City University in 1993. Upon
graduation, he went to the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, U.S.A as a scientist where he
first learned genetics and the use of embryonic stem cells. In 2004 he began his landmark
studies on finding ways to induce pluripotency in cells. He announced that he had succeeded in
generating induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells in 2006. The following year Yamanaka and
James Thomson reported that they succeeded in reprogramming human adult skin cells into
iPS cells. Yamanaka’s discoveries together with those of Thomson’s led to a dramatic rush in
research on stem cell. They actively engaged in iPS cell research towards regenerative
medicine as a research tool for drug discovery and the possible use of these cells in the
modelling and treatment of human diseases.
Yamanaka received multiple prestigious awards for his contribution to stem-cell research.
The significance of iPS was culminated with Dr Yamanaka and British developmental biologist
John B Gourdon being awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for the
discovery that mature cells could be reprogrammed.
47. When did Yamanaka James Thomson published that they succeeded in reprogramming
human adult skin cells into iPS cells?
A. 1993 C. 2006 E. 2012
B. 2004 D. 2007
The Dutch launched a military (48) ___________on 19 December 1948 which it termed
Operation Crow.
By the following day it had conquered the city of Yogyakarta, the location of the
temporary Republican capital. By the end of December, all major Republican held cities in Java
and Sumatra were in Dutch hands.
The Republican President, Vice-President, and all but six Republic of Indonesia
ministers were captured by Dutch troops and (49) ____________on Bangka Island off the east
coast of Sumatra.
In areas surrounding Yogyakarta and Surakarta, Republican forces refused to surrender
and continued to wage a guerrilla war under the leadership of Republican military chief of staff
General Sudirman who had escaped the Dutch offensives. An emergency Republican
government, was established in West Sumatra.
On March 1, 1949 at 6 am, Republican forces launched March 1 General Offensive. The
Offensive caught the Dutch by surprise. For his part, Hamengkubuwono IX allowed his palace
to be used as a hide out for the troops. For 6 hours, the Indonesian troops had control of
Yogyakarta before finally retreating.
The Offensive was a moral and diplomatic success, inspiring demoralised troops all
around Indonesia, as well as proving to the United Nations that the Indonesian army still existed
and were capable of fighting. On the other hand, the offensive had demoralized the Dutch
forces, because they never thought that Indonesian forces could assault and control the city,
even for a few hours.
