We Are Meant to be Together!

Good morning everyone!
It seems a little weird blogging about the weakness of social media. How do you comment about the gaps in something so vast and far reaching as the Internet communication all the while using that very same mechanism to get your story out there?

You could probably comment on many levels with this I am sure so let me just get to the point.

It seems the world is increasing its pressure to advance and streamline. It seems that there is far more benefits than consequence to a social media generation. But is there really?

In my own travels, I meet many who express a deeper need to go beyond the "Matrix" connections and desire to move into a warmer climate of something called "community". Usually these are people who have reached the ripe old age of 30+ and are now yearning for meaning to their existence. The younger folks are still enthralled with their sense of newness, innovation and perceived "coolness" to be that concerned. (or so it would seem, not all are..but you understand what I am saying) We are meant to be in close proximity!

Now, I am not saying to do away with anything because I think that relationships are formed almost anywhere. So I take a "both-and" position on the integration of both social philosophies. I am simply encouraging us to not deify the one over the one that has always been.

Social media has been around for less than 25 years (give or take). Community has been around since the beginning.

Success is together!
