With the birth of WebGL, thereās no need for any additional downloads and it will be built into any web browser so that you can play games and watch videos without having to download an additional plug-in.

Social networks has taken over the way we see the media. According to the article āThe Social Medium is the Messageā by Clive Thompson from Wired magazine social networking platforms have become a big news outlet. Especially with the election that had just passed many people were using platforms such as facebook, youtube, reddit and twitter as a source of receiving updates on it. But unfortunately through social networking platforms it is very easy to get fake news. There is no way that we can filter out all fake news without locking out peopleās voices. We need to be working on improvements to make this kind of news more factual than false.
