The Rise of Social Media
How do we communicate? What tools have we used to communicate? What tools do we use to communicate? Evidently, these are questions that pop-up in my head and in the heads of many who are trying to make sense of our ever-changing world.
I am sure we can remember growing up in a world in which our only methods of communication was through old medias such as newspapers, magazines, television and radio. Nowadays, social media has taken over and everything has changed. Now we have blogs (such as Word Press), social networking sites, (like the ever-popular Facebook and Twitter), video sharing sites (I’m sure we’ve all used YouTube once or twice) Photo Sharing Sites (I have way too many pictures up on Flickr), and lastly, crowd-sourcing (Wikipedia is my new dictionary). Evidently, many, many new ways to communicate.
However, in hopes to answer the question of how we communicate, it is also important to understand the difference between old and new media.

WWDD?
Social (new) media naturally is taking over from the traditional (old) media and politicians are beginning to take advantage of its promise for good and bad. Videos on Youtube and other sites leading up to the 2010 midterm have found their place in the loosened era of viral advertising. WWDD? (What would Don Draper Do?) links a master of the old advertising media to the new media and its effect on society.
