At dinner last night, I was talking with a family friend about social media websites such as Groupon and LivingSocial.com. He is the CEO of a large chain of retail stores in the United States, and this past week the company released a deal via LivingSocial that gave participants a $20 for $10 coupon. Because of the store's popularity, the coupon sold out within a couple of hours and sold at an average of 30 per second. Not only was my friend thrilled, but it also showed him how much our society is changing and embracing the techno and electronic world.
It is very exciting how technology is constantly changing and reshaping the way humans interact, obtain knowledge, and discover new ideas. This is one of the reasons why I became so interested in electronic media, and I am very excited to be part of it.
