"Social media isn't a fad, it's a fundamental shift in the way we communicate."
A good friend of mine, and fellow media nerd, passed along this video to me. Quite compelling. I was grabbed by the quote, "We no longer search for news, the news finds us..." Often, I find myself using Twitter as my own search engine. Twitter is my personal news feed. One click and I have a constant access to the worlds dearest to me.
Since moving to DC, I've been constantly intrigued by the intertwining of media, politics, and civic life. Social media, I believe, is ushering in a new era of just about everything--shopping, learning, relationships, citizenship, career, politics, activism, faith. And undoubtedly, this is no fad. Social media is here to stay, and to revolutionize our world. The possibilities are thrilling.
