Social media is powering & accelerating these trends
The 60’s and 70’s were all about products and how to advertise them
The 80’s and 90’s were all about brands and their balance sheet value
Then it all went digital
Now it’s all gone social
Social media is about conversations

Share knowledge & learn
To enjoy
Express opinions
Share Experiences
Find each other jobs
