If your definition of social media is "Facebook is the devil" then maybe a few more facts can enlighten your mind and get a bit more relevant information on how it has influenced on how we learn, react and interact. Take time to view this video:
SOCIAL MEDIA REVOLUTION
Here are the top 5 that I found really interesting in the video:
- 1 in 5 divorces are blamed on Facebook

- 90% of consumers trust peer recommendations
One Last thing, over 37 million people watched the Volkswagen Darth Vader Super Bowl Ad on YouTube...

Does that mean that this generation won't even recognize what a Pager is or a rotary phone? Will our children believe us if we say that we didn't have cell phones or computers back in the day?

What is the world coming to? Well, at least there's Google & YouTube to search these topics on... right?
What's a PAGER?
