Hey, you! Yeah, you. You were just sneaking in a quick scroll through Instagram or Facebook in between clicking the link to this page and waiting for it to load, weren’t you?

That’s all right: Social media has become part of our lives, and we often squeeze it into the little gaps in our daily schedules. However, that doesn’t mean that the industry is done innovating. Just these past couple years, we’ve seen the meteoric rise of short-video platform TikTok and the creation of Meta by Facebook, heralding the next phase for social media.

In this episode of Tech in Asia Explains, Lomotif founder and CEO Paul Yang, Vertex Ventures managing partner Ben Mathias, Gushcloud group CEO Althea Lim, and GaiGai group CEO and founder Alex Tam help us to understand what the new age of social media will look like and how it will affect how we connect with others in the years to come.
