What’s up with Social Media?

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.

As recent as two years ago or in many cases a year ago inter­ac­tive choices were still lim­ited, and avail­able choices to expand our net­works, to find the prod­ucts that fit our needs, were just begin­ning to be avail­able. Face­book, and MySpace were not seen as any­thing else than a place for kids, the con­cept of a “Social Net­work” was just begin­ning to take shape.
