Mark Zuckerberg

Many of my posts so far have hinted at a phe­nom­e­non that has increased pace of change in the world lead­ing many to won­der often doubt­fully about it’s role in day to day life. Much of the doubt comes from those who are mys­ti­fied by tech­nol­ogy and can’t imag­ine how tech­nol­ogy can help them. Since the phe­nom­e­non I am talk­ing about is tech­nol­ogy based but it is and will effect the way we live our lives far more than we can imag­ine now. Tech­nol­ogy and specif­i­cally the web has been seen in the not to dis­tant past as an iso­lat­ing influ­ence on our cul­ture, caus­ing us to lose touch with the world around us as our inti­mate cir­cle of friends shrinks. There have been fears of a grow­ing social alien­ation espe­cially in the iGen­er­a­tion as we have tried to under­stand the mean­ing of Face­book, MySpace etc. Not even a year ago I really didn’t see the point of Face­book but that has changed.
