http://mashable.com/2009/10/16/social-media-changing-lives/

I would recommend anyone taking any communication classes to read this article. It really makes you stop and think about how different our lives are now compared to 5 or 10 years ago. The author Soren Gordhamer talks about how social media tools like Facebook and Twitter have changed the way we interact with one another and with the world around us. Gordhamer also talks about how social media networks and our friends on them have become our most trusted source for information. This article is related to Internet Communication because the internet is a huge part of doing business, meeting and staying in touch with people, what we reveal about ourselves, and what we can influence. Our daily lives revolve around new media technologies and how we use them.
