I don't Twitter, I don't MyFace, I don't Yearbook...
The future belongs to social media. It is egalitarian and inclusive. Social media is not about any country, any language, any colour, any community but it is about human values and that is the underlying link binding humanity.
Social media is changing the world, and we're all here whitnessing it.
Twitter is an amazing thing, because people follow each other and they can make friends.
I think social media is a revolutionary phenomenon all in itself.
We didn’t have Facebook in my day, we had a phone book but you wouldn’t waste an afternoon on it
When we play games online, it's always so fun because that's something that we genuinely connect with because they usually like the same stuff that I like, so connecting with them there is amazing.
I've always been a social network retard, even before there was a social network. People would say, "You want to go to this party and do some networking?"
I'm not very active on social media. I'm not on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, or anything like that. But I think it's wonderful that they're out there. They're fantastic. I have a lot of siblings and friends that use it, and it's great for them. It's such a connected world.
You have to think back to the '90s. The computer was this terrible-looking thing that was trying to compete with the television. And it was this idea of email and chat rooms and this kind of stuff that first people - got people there.
There are people who have formed guilds in 'World of Warcraft' who may have played together for years before actually meeting, but because of the adventures they had together, they formed really deep-rooted friendships.
This social-networking thing takes you to crazy places.
Geographic boundaries really begin to disappear with the Internet.
The Internet doesn't just enable cool avatars and the shorter form. It also allows the deeper form: cross-linked blog posts, extensive research, simultaneous screens and raw debate footage that anyone can scan online, at any time.
Social media really grew up.
Social networking sites like Myspace, Friendster, and Facebook have literally exploded in popularity in just a few short years.
The Internet is accelerating the speed of acceptance and social justice.
That's what social media is, that's what Twitter is, that's what Facebook posts are. It's just really anti-intellectual.
If instantaneity is what we want, television cannot compete with cyberspace.
A lot of gaming and a lot of interaction is no longer physical; it's all digital and at a distance. There's this innate, tribal need of the people to have face time with other people and play together in person. I think there's been this rediscovery of the joy of playing with people around the table.
Social networking is playing a huge role in creating awareness and mobilizing support for all kinds of common interests. What better way to use this remarkable tool than to change the world?
Technology has miniaturized the globe, reducing vast oceans to mere ponds. Distant countries are now almost neighbors as our bodies travel faster than the speed of sound and our voices at the speed of light. ... Today the world is not much bigger than a ball spinning on the finger of science.
Electronic communities build nothing. You wind up with nothing. We are dancing animals. How beautiful it is to get up and go out and do something. We are here on Earth to fart around. Don't let anybody tell you any different.
I've got more friends than I've ever had in my life at the age of 39 - although given that I didn't have any friends until the age of 27, it doesn't say much - because I found the internet.
I have been interested in global web-based communities and emerging technologies since the mid 80's. There is a revolution occurring in global culture at the moment, that will change everything. And it's only just beginning.
