As much as I love digital tools, over the years I have always kept moleskin notebooks to keep my thoughts in. I was reading some of them today and I came across something I wrote not too long ago. I was in a womens studies class while my professor was talking about being a part of the womens liberation movement in the 60’s. She said that they had no idea then of the profound impact that their actions would have on history.

I wrote down in my book that I felt the same way about the social media world I had stepped into. I know that things I do today as part of my normal everyday life, will completely change the face of media forever. It is hard to see what affects this will have, but I know that it has an affect.

Today there was a story that College age kids make up less than 25% of Facebook. Last year 42% of facebook users were 18-24. It just goes to show that social media is always changing and the game will never stay the same. This made me realize that now more than ever, everything I do has the power to really change the future of media.

Some days I think I must be crazy to keep up with so many different social networks, and different blogging platforms. But at the end of the day, every single one of those communities is teaching me something. There are people with valuable knowledge everywhere and I always want to learn more. If a day goes by that I do not learn something new, that is a waste.
