The World has Changed, People!

We have a black president.
He took full advantage of our current technological playground to get elected. Don't you want to play in that sandbox?

It's time we all accept that e-living has irreversibly saturated life as we know it... and it's not going away.

Regardless of personal opinion on the topic, there is no denying that people and businesses are using this "second revolution of the internet" to their advantage. If you're not one of them, you are categorically Missing Out.

Web 2.0 ( <- that's a link, click it if you don't know what "Web 2.0" is) takes what we do in our real physical world and it enhances it. It sharpens the focus on the high points of our lives. It illuminates the parts of ourselves we want to show off. Um... hi, meet my blog.

It helps businesses find their customers, new mothers find information, recession victims find new jobs and rewarding volunteer opportunities. And it has shown anyone who'll pay attention the power of collaboration.

So yes, I know you think it's stupid that people are telling you what they're doing every 5 minutes with Facebook status updates. But let's face it. The small annoying parts of social networking and all it's Web counterparts are just a tiny drop of water in the tidal wave overcoming us - you can either ride it and surf on in to the sunset, or you can fold your arms, do nothing and watch yourself sink to the bottom. Your choice y'all.

Sink or swim?
