THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA

FUTURE- BE GOING TO 

We use going to express plans AND predictions based on evidence

Both WILL and GOING TO can be used for making future predictions, without having a real difference in meaning.

e.g. I think it WILL BE foggy tomorrow= I think it IS GOING TO BE foggy tomorrow.
