The Future Of Social Media?
Sometimes I wonder if the social media movement is going to eventually show itself as something more like the diet wonder drug of the 90’s - Fen Phen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fen-phen) rather than a great and positive permanent shift in culture. I mean in 5 or 10 years from now are we going to see commercials like this…
“Did you or someone you love blog, use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter?”
“Are they now suffering from the inability to communicate in real life with other human beings? Can they no longer speak in sentences longer than 140 characters at a time?”
“If this is true call this number - 555 555 5555”
“You may be entilted to punitive damages.”
Are sprinting into the pit of not being able to have true and authentic communication? Or are we simply making progress?
