Ok, this is definitely one that needs to be covered. I'm going to cover GE's old slogan "Living Better Electrically". After decades of the trend being to minimize the individual, the reverse is now true. Technology has brought back the individual. Social media has allowed us to put our work, thoughts and art out there without the approval of some corporate suit whose main concern is the bottom line. I'm going to specify YouTube specifically. There are YouTube videos more popular than your biggest dramas on tv. When's the last time a single episode of "Friends" could claim a viewership of half a million.
Living better electrically. The truth is, with sites like blogspot.com, now even the talking heads of the news have competition. Here I am spouting my opinions. Maybe I don't have Bill O'Reilly's following (yet) but I can say how I feel, maybe make a little money off it, and possibly make a difference in the long run. I remember 20 years ago your news choices were ABC, NBC, CBS and your local newspaper. Now I have choices upon choices to gain my news sources from. I can access Al Jazeera TV's website in English now and get the point of view of the Arab world through their news. We as a communal whole need to utilize modern technology to strengthen every individual possible in order to move forward to the future.
