This is the power of "Social Networking." By any means will this new form of communication will go away. In fact, it has evolved into greater things. As stated in this article, 3-D virtual reality, SecondLife, has been used to speak out to make a difference around the world. This is how real and active "Social Networking" is and will become.
Social Networking in Plain English
Remember when Twitter was used to speak on the Mumbai attack? Now all forms of "Social Networking" is going all out to support the human beings that are being attack by tyrants. Spite the differences that they may have of all that are speaking out on all these "Social Networking" formats, they are still human beings. Another words, tolerance is being used and respected.
In decades past, there were very little tolerance of one another. Now due to "Social Networking" online, tolerance is being practiced on a "global" level. That states a lot about how wonderful this new "Social Networking" online has become, and it is constantly evolving and growing. What teachers and parents have not succeeded, this new form of global communication has done since 2001.
The Power of Social Networking is Infinite
I will never say that "Social Networking" will grow into a "Utopia." First of all the word itself means from the Greek to the English "no place." It is amazing to me that how in a short time everyone that is using all the new forms of online communication has learn and grown in tolerating others. Could it be that communicating with Twitter, Facebook, SecondLife, and many others see the true person of the ones they are talking to then the outward appearances, like color of skin, gender, etc? Whatever it reasons, it is happening.
In SecondLife, one can be a male, female, animal, robot, Batman, Darth Vader, and right down anything. Yes, in real life, I am not a Bald Eagle, but I can be one in SecondLife. That does not change who I am. Believe it or not, gender is not an issue. I have learned that one can change one's gender in SecondLife at anytime. That tells me that 3-D virtual worlds is about creativity and improving on self expression then anything else. Here lately, there more then 67,000 individuals logging into or inworld of SecondLife daily.
There are member of SecondLife that can tell you that 11,000 was the average member inworld at one time. That is how fast "Social Networking" has grown, and it is constantly growing even more. Remember there are over 6 billion people on Earth today. There are under 300,000,000 people in the United States. There are more yet that can be a big part of this wonder.
That is right, all of this is the tip of the iceberg of what both "Social Networking" and "Social Media" has to offer all of us. Also, this is not a fad that will go away. A fad does not grow this big since about January 2001 to what it is today. Less and less negative press are being said against this new and wonderful technology. As with anything wonderful in life, there is a shadow behind it. Gardens have weeds, but that does not stop many people in having them each and every year.
The possibilities are endless for the future of how we do things online. "Social Networking" will be a giant factor in this evolution of the Internet. What is being shown for the possibilities of the near future just might be scrapped by how fast technology is being advanced right now. We are seeing already how science fiction of yesterday is now becoming science fact in the here and now. It might become to a point that it will be so advanced that each and everyone of us can partake in this advancement.
