I agree that technology is changing the way we communicate daily. It's absolutely amazing to watch how kids today look at technology as a tool that enables them to do things easy. Your comment on people sharing the same interests on social networks brings a great point - crowdsourcing has proved to be extremely successful and there are many thriving online communities based on sharing the same interests. Thanks for the great feedback! Hi Monica,

Brands nowadays face a great challenge - get up to speed with the new demands of customers or disappear. Organizations need to fine tune their marketing efforts to keep up with how customers want to get their information, receive news and provide feedback. I'm excited about the opportunities the Internet and the New Media open up to marketers to truly engage in a dialogue. Thank you for your comment once again. Thank you Kerrie for your comment.

But the most interesting insights for me are how technology and social media unite people not on the basis of demographics, but on psychographics and behaviors. Enabled by social media, multiple generations are interacting more than ever. My son (11-years-old) and I share a love of the black eyed peas as well as many technologies (the x-games iPhone app as one example). Through social media and mobile devices, we are now enabled to connect to people around the world that share our interests, expand our knowledge, and help us solve challenges.
