Is Social Media a fad or the biggest shift since the Industrial Revolution?

An update on last year’s video from Socialnomics, where there are references for all of the stats used in the video.

    come on people, maybe getting a little bit ahead of ourselves here. The industrial revolution (amongst other things) delivered synchronized time on a global scale – the tech. revolution might have an argument, but not social media (as important a step in human communication as it could prove to be).

    A bit annoying this is…
    We've seen videos like this for years now, all very well made with a scary soundtrack. But the facts?
    39 years for radio to reach 50 million users; May I add that those were actual dedicated listeners to one/ten broadcasters? The impact on events was much bigger compared to the current completely fragmented media without any profound cultural bonding.
    Or do we really believe technology makes a culture?
    Bollocks, it's remarkable people that do that. Whatever media is used.
    All the connected world CAN do is make things travel faster. But that doesn't mean the message is any more powerful.
