There is always a fad going round, clothing fads, food fads, and yes technology fads. Tech communications developments well let's see starting about 1840
telegraph
newsprint in 1850 makes newspapers a reality
telephone (initially rejected by Western Union by the way)
radio
television
media, cylinder used by Edison, phonograph record, reel to reel, eight track, casette, digital tape, VCR, CD, Mp3, downloads, USB
Internet, and yes, the dot.coms
Now is social media a new deal. This article says no. Nothing has changed this is just a new medium
Hmm, we might ask as I posted yesterday, Mr. Murdoch how is that MySpace deal working out?
Such fads come and go, yes it is another way of communicating but that is all it is, what's the message, what's the product, what's the value?
