More Than a Passing Trend Part II

When I first watched this Youtube video, it surprised me that many things on the internet only took a few years to gain 50 million users. It took the radio 36 years and the television 13 years. It then compared it to how many years it took the internet to gain 50 million users which was 4 years, then the iPod (3 years). Facebook added 100 million users in less than 9 months! This just proves to show that the things and social networking stuff we do on the internet everyday is having a huge impact on our world and not just our country. They say it’s the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution.
On the video it says “there are over 200,000,000 blogs and 54% of bloggers post content daily”. When I think of how many people that is posting and responding to other peoples ideas every day…it makes me think about what will we be doing in 10 years when new technology has come out and people have improved the internet? How will we be responding to other people’s ideas then?
I think its amazing how so many newspaper companies have experienced newspaper declines, because the news that would usually be in the newspaper is now on the internet. Also, how we no longer have to find the news, the news finds us. I like what it said in the end “ Social Media is a fundamental shift in the way we communicate”.
