Social Media Revolution

This video was very interesting.  Some of the information was very surprising but a lot of it I could have saw coming.  Our generation has changed the meaning of communication.  It was only 4 years ago that we had internet and I find that wierd.  It's wierd thinking that I didn't even have interent when I was younger.  One thing that I found very interesting was that if facebook was a country, it would be the third largest country.  I knew a lot of people used facebook but I definetly didn't think it was that big.  It was surprising also on how fast it go so big.  It only took nine months for it to be a huge successful hit.  I also thought it was very interesting when they asked Americans how many of them have watched a movie lately...on their phone and 25% said they had.  It wasn't that long ago that there were no phones.  I believe our generation has become very dependent on technology and lacking social interaction.  I am surprised how big Youtube has gotten as well.  Just like facebook, it only took youtube nine months to have 100,000,000 videos.  It really hit me when they said that we no longer have to look for services and searches, they know find us.  This to me is so true because I am constantly being asked, or pop-ups come up of relevant topics.  It makes it very easy to look up information.
