 Can  one  honestly say  that social  media  is a fad ? With over 50% of the world’s  population  being  under  30 years  of age and with a staggering  96%  of millennials  joining  a social  media  network  .  You  could  argue  that this the greatest revolution   since  the  Industrial   Revolution  ,  you  remember  the  industrial  revolution don’t  you ?  Where  inventors  and  industrialist  created  systems  that propelled  ideas  from  every corner of the  globe  , which resulted  in increased  productivity  and cut labor   cost  dramatically  .  For every  great   invention  comes with  their  fair  share  of  critics  who try to fool us  into  Believing   that any form of change will be disastrous for all mankind.Here we are in the 21st Century where from the food we eat to the air we breathe everything has become  digitized  .
