I Love Social Media

I love how social media gives us a voice—and a shot. I love how it elevates us to be true to the best we know.

I love how it fosters connections, forces transparency and foments revolutions. I love how, armed with the right message at the right time, ordinary people like @veggefatale can execute the extraordinary and bring badly-behaving corporations to their proverbial knees. I love how an uplifting video can beam across humanity and infuse people with the gift of hope. I love that nice guys, good companies and worthy organizations finish first. I love how this new generation is using social media to move mountains. I love how charitable organizations are using social media to save lives.

I love the positive impact it has on our world—and the promise it holds for our future.

It is thrilling when I see someone take to social media, find their voice, realize their power and unleash it on the world. Humans have waited millennia for this moment; and, here we are.

That’s what social media does. It makes good on the long-held promise that one person can change the world. It draws us together and empowers us. I can think of nothing more important and thrilling and wonderful than that.

 With social media one person posting a blog, a video or a photo can literally change the world. With social media an idea, event or person can be lifted up or exposed for all the world to see. Social media is all about people sharing with other people and sharing anything is the essence of empowerment. In the act of giving the giver is just as empowered as the receiver. Whatever niche we are drawn to, whether the arts, entertainment, sports, religion, politics or business, social media captures the passion and power of like minded souls and kindred spirits worldwide. Like the above article writer, I too love social media.
