1. The trends of the technological age are creating a wide variety of people whom use technology on a daily basis. With nearly everyone using technology to a certain degree, our society is bound to change with it. We are in the infantile stage of what electronics are going to do for humankind, for better or worse. As a species, humans went through a transformative experience with socialization taking place nearly as much or more than traditional means of communication. Society has shifted right along with it. Information networks are synching further and further as time goes on. If you observe the brief but expansive history of computers, you can clearly see that happening. Social media is the rise of the next key component in increasing the capacity of our technology. The interconnectedness will synch further and further until there is an extremely dense amount of data, which will be worked at by humans with the help of the computers themselves. The combination of humans and computers has created a springboard effect that has and will continue to innovate within itself. This is artificial intelligence. The future is fast arriving and it will result in humans taking their next step in the scheme of evolution. Prepare to walk the path of technology, because we are departing from a "pre-tech" path. Everything is different from here on out.
