Technically Social

Who would have thought even 10 years ago that technology and social skills could marry? There were discussions back in the early 90's among the consortium of usability. Part of the problem was a pride issue. The chasm of techies and socialites. But with the innovation of cell phones and people who love them. This gap has gotten smaller. Video games are loved by pretty much every child in the 21st century. Instead of a generation of TV watchers, we now have a generation of video game players. Games, once only enjoyed by "geeks" and "nerds" are common place today and are much more user friendly. The non-profits need for a cheap marketing solution, have caused social networking to skyrocket. Now anyone can be their own internet radio DJ. Or how about an author? This can be done online, as well, via the once infamous blogs. Who would have known, that companies, TV media and radio personalities would not even consider being without a blog today. Not to mention, you must also have a valid web page, to be considered a legitimate source these days.

Email a friend, video chat online, text chat online or via your cell phone. Create an internet video program for the whole world to watch, play a video game with someone in another country. We have come into the New World. For better, or for worse, we are here.

Blessings to you this day.
