Social networking.

Social networking is not just a fad. I thought that video was extremely interesting. I don't know why people could think it is just a fad, when it's such a huge thing that has affected so many people's lives. The one fact that I thought was insane was that if Facebook was a country, it would be the fourth largest country in the world. That's crazy. I knew that Facebook was big.. but I had no idea that it was THAT big. I also thought it was CRAZY that the amount of people following Ashton Kutcher and Ellen on Twitter was more than the population of Ireland, Norway and other countries. That is incredible. I had no idea. A lot of the facts in the video were shocking. As I was reading it I was like whoa. I think that it's sad that all of the newspapers and news on TV are losing business and viewers.. but it's obvious why they are. People can get their news so much faster via the web. And sometimes you're not even looking for the news and you hear it. You could be on Twitter, and see a trending topic, and then click it and you figure out that there was a natural disaster or that a celebrity died, or that someone is in rehab again. You get current events news and celebrity gossip by just going onto Twitter or Facebook or any other social networking sight. It's just an incredible thing to think about. And soon, newspapers and TV will be gone. You can do it all online. I don't think social networking is a fad at all. I think that it's going to stay and replace a lot of different things in our lives and make them more efficient. And it's wonderful, in my opinion. :D That's just my thoughts on it. :)
