Just like geographical migration of population groups that roam local, provincial, national and globally just in a search for a better way of life because of political, economical, or just not satisfied with the area seems that this is happening with social media as well. New tech bubbles are forming and bursting on a regular bases and the ones that don't keep ahead of the curve sink into oblivion.

Like the computer that came on to the social scene many years ago and the great breakthrough with the miracle of simplification of use which was point and click as opposed to DOS where one really had to be a true blue geek to operate one, more and more people are coming onto to the communications world.

Big money is being spent in this industry for the development of more faster systems and more slower systems are becoming obsolete which is forcing the user to upgrade on a constant bases and pay more money just to stay in the game.

Computers right now are starting to go through a miniaturizing phase from big computer to PC to notebook or Ipad to smart phone.

A lot of these smart phones have enough speed for military use.

Applications or Apps that charge a small per use fee is creating a larger smart phone demand.

Big companies like Microsoft and Apple are constantly introducing new devices that are more powerful and newer software companies are coming out with new programs.

Brick and mortar companies that have an Internet presence to have the maximum market share

More social media sites are coming on line and pushing the more established ones to the side just because of the money factor.

Facebook had their share of negative publicity and consumer complaints where they might be the next to fall.

What do you think?
