The most annoying phrase I hear over and over is: "Social Media is changing everything, we've got to get involved." While it may be true that social media is changing things, it seems to be unclear exactly how and what it's changing. This is an observational blog, documenting the cultural and communicational shift of millennials (15-30 year-olds) to social networks and mobile devices.

Japan, 2011


**This is less a post about observations and more a call to attention. 

Friday, March 11, 2011 at 2:46PM (10:46PM in Seattle) Japan was rocked by an 8.9 magnitude earthquake (According to Canadian Press a 9.0 magnitude). A massive tsunami followed; a tsunami that washed nearly 10,000 people out to sea (Hawaiian News CNN). In the hours following people scrambled to make calls, to check if family members were accounted for. Phone lines were split and reporters urged us, those not involved in the earthquake, to take to social media for help.

Do you ever feel three steps behind? Get used to it.
