The video Social Media is changing the way we communicate globally was extremely insightful for me. It advocated for the increase in social media usage. In the video it states, "Social media isn't a fad its a fundamental shift in the way we communicate." Those words couldn't have been said better. People expect us to stick with the original way of communication, but back then the world was far less populated and there was no such thing as communicating instantly. At the rate our world is populating, we have to advance. We have to find new ways to learn, communicate, run a business, etc. As society changes we change too.
As shown in the clip, It took Facebook 9 months to gain over a 100 million users. While the radio took 38 years just to get 50 million users. What does that show about todays technology? With advancements we have the ability to share information, advertise products, and promote businesses internationally. All with the click of a button.
To be honest I don't want to know what our world would look like now without the changes in communication. I can imagine we would be poor and overpopulated. So many of the key aspects of running our economy rely on technology. We can do trade with countries all over the world. Run a business from the opposite side of the world. We drive this economy. 
This is definitely an interesting video.
