Social media

Today's blog shows a video on someones opinion on social media, and how it's more than a fad. If it were possibly I would agree 115%. I think it's much more than just a fad, it's the way we communicate now, paper companies are slowly going out of business. If it were just a fad, people would have been getting over it, instead of it growing, like it most definitely is.

Social networking is juts the simplest thing to do these days, I mean it takes you like what around 15 minutes to find out everything that's on the news, possibly even less. No more waiting to get the newspapers, information is just a click away, how can people resist that? I think some of the things we value most is time, and knowledge. Internet provides pros for both of these variables, you spend less time learning more information, it's a plus plus situation. If someone were to deny social networking and kept to traditional ways, they're probably just the kind of people to dislike change.

Whether those few people go with it or not, the world is still moving with the internet now. People interact more online than they do in real life now, with face book for example, window's live messenger is also another one. It's all advancing so fast, thinking back to when I had an "apple" computer that only had green icons on it, and I don't even think it had a mouse, one of the first computers. When dial up came out and everyone was amazed by internet. These day's if the Internets going anything under 6mbs we get frustrated at it. Social networking is getting faster, and more mobile. Pretty soon maybe we'll be talking to people 24/7.

Its more than not needing to wait on a newspaper, we can actually receive eye witness reports directly from people.
