Here's something to think about.
We have been going at turning everyone on social network into publishers. Anyone with fingers to type up their whereabouts or what they are about to eat can share their status with everyone else who care to subscribe to their updates. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Foursquare, Google+, Branch, Tumblr, Quora, etc., we have more social networks than we care to remember.
What is ironic is that as we become more connected and instantly reachable, I am finding that it is increasingly difficult to communicate with people. I have more ways to reach my friend than I can count with my ten fingers. Yet it is becoming challenging to have a dialogue with him.
