MTV changed the world in the 1980's and now it's Social Media!

I remember being a kid when MTV began, and watching all the great music with videos too!  It was a revelation.   MTV changed the way we experience music: before it existed, we listened to records; after, we started watching them.  Another innovation that can be claimed by MTV is reality television, which started in 1992.  We went from hearing to watching.  It was all for entertainment. 


...and now...


Social Networking is taking over the world! Facebook, as we all know, began as a lark.  Some college kids just trying to get 
girls ends up being a multi-billion dollar enterprise that has connected people all around the world. It’s the ability to obtain and share information, build relationships, share experiences that is shaping our culture.  There is no knowledge that can not be achieved from the tips of your fingers any longer.   


What does social networking mean for you?  How has it changed (good or bad) you life?
