As the communication age grows with the computer technical age, wonderful things have happened. People around the world have not been able to communicate as much as they have done in the past few years. It is far more then just text messaging. If there were ever an age called the "Golden Age," then I might call the time we live in today, just that.
The 21st Century has blossomed into something far beyond anyone could ever hoped or dreamed. The power behind all this is not controlled by any one person or group. The Internet is far to vast and powerful to be controlled. We either need to grab on tight with both hands, or wave bye bye as we are left behind in the dust. These new technical and communication trends are not going away. They are here to stay and growing nearly day by day.
Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and MySpace gets tons and tons of communication traffic each and every day. Spite the critics that may say negative things, these social networking services are only growing by the million. The only communication item that is falling behind the 8-ball is the telephone. People are still using it, but I would like to know how much more Internet communication has taken over the old fashion telephone?

What a way for businessess and even the average person to save money in transportation cost. A grandparent can see their grand children more than just on the holidays. The more options one has, the more things a person can do in life. It is true not all the technical advances is for everyone everywhere, but one might be surprised in how many are using all that the Internet has to offer, right now.
As our technology advances in just about ever field of life, the power is based on the imagination of the user of these technologies. If now more than anytime, one can rightfully state, "Do not allow anyone to tell you that you cannot do anything." With all the advance technologies that is out there and the ones that have not been invented as of yet, there are no excuses for anyone to not work hard at something they really want to do.
With out technologies we have now, we can do things that might not be possible 5 years ago. What we can do in the next 5 years will make the technical wonders we have now old and worn out. I personally have not used any instant messaging software in a long time, even though I have Yahoo IM running on my computer. I can share so much more through social networking than any time in the past. That is how powerful social networking is today.
Sharing online is a fast and growing aspect of life. Due to the "public domain" aspect of social networking, I believe the need for Copyright laws will not be necessary. GNU software is also growing and used more than other software. The ideology of creativity has changed from I possess it to I want to share it with anyone, and allow them to manipulate their copy if they so choose. In this, the word teamwork has a marvelous new meaning.
Megatons of barriers have been removed due to today's fast growing Internet. More and more people can learn in ways they could not without the Internet as it is today. A lot many people fear their privacy might be in danger, but I believe that social networking has more privacy protection than anything in history of the Internet. People do not have to use their real names, but a pseudo name or user name. How much they give out online is all up to them. In most if not all social networking accounts, one can block or accept the ones they want on their friend's list. Full control is at the hands of the user and not the ones that are running the social networking serves.
That is why I believe that Social Networking is so popular today, everyone is in control. They have the freedom to share what they want to with some simple guidelines under the TOS of each service. It would not suprise me one bit to see more and more jobs going online than ever before. That makes me wonder if the reason why jobs are not being found in the conventional world is due to they are running out of positions. How can one fill a 16 oz class if it is full already?
This year over 1,200,000 jobs were lost in two months. If the trends fall on the month of March as with January and February, then that can add another 600,000 plus job loss, making it nearly 2,000,000 people out of a job in 2009. What amazes me the most about our technical advances that it keeps on going spite the job losses. The world is still alive and moving without loosing a beat. That makes me think we need to rethink how we live and do things. Could it be that our economy is not in bad turn, but how we are living?
If it is true that 1 +1 = 11 and 11+ 1 = 111, then could it be just as true for it to move the other direction (111 - 1 = 11; 11 - 1= 1). The point, are we living in the past or in the future? Who is responsible for our own circumstances, fate or ourselves? The choices in our lives belongs to us. What we might do in our lives can make all the difference in how we live tomorrow.
Blessed Be to Isis and you,
