Oh, how we Love to share ...

We, the human race, have taken evolutionary leaps in our ability to communicate, and in the way we share our stories, experiences, and wisdom. We’ve transitioned from cave drawings and smoke signals, to pigeon post, snail mail and telegraphs, to telephones, cell phones, email, video chat, instant messaging, and now social networks.

Mass communication has arrived. We can do it with anyone, anywhere, anytime!

We’ve officially plugged ourselves into the largest communications device ever known to mankind.
Rather than reaching out to connect with other planets or species (think moon and mars landings), and in the apparent absence of aliens—according to the White House— we’ve begun connecting with each other.
Cue soundtrack: Louis Armstrong… “What a Wonderful World.”

Or is it?

Facebook has been spreading across the continents faster than a highly contagious Asian bird flu, luring millions of members into the surreal world of social networking. It’s big. Bigger than Justin Bieber or Ashton Kutcher’s Twitter following.
