Social media is slowing becoming the preferred method to communicate. We used to call each other. Then we sent emails. We text way more than we talk now, but Facebook and Twitter has created the most efficient way to echo our inner thoughts to any in the world 24 hours a day.
It’s not an evil thing. It’s just new and some people get it, some don’t. Some abuse it, get abused by it while others run as far away from it as they can.
Ironically, we’re in a time with high unemployment, a disproportionate amount of talented people looking for work and an understanding that networking is the fastest way to find a new job, yet I don’t get as many requests to connect on LinkedIn, which essentially is designed just for that. There aren’t any photo albums to show off your tan from a recent vacation, a game where killing people makes you the hero nor an environment which encourages you to share with the world what you’re cooking tonight. Then again, those aren’t the things you’d share to get a job.
