Nexus One. The rumored Apple tablet. Droid. Netbooks. iPhone 3G.
It’s an amazing time from a technological point of view. The exchange of information and ideas is being revised and adapted to new technologies. Media in particular, having taken their share of lumps over the past two years, have mobile and possibly tablet-formats on which to disseminate, host conversations, and even sell advertising.
Social media, in less than two years has become a new tool for media to reach readers, sources and newsmakers in real time. Twitter is often the first conduit of media information, hearkening back to the teletype and wire cables of yesteryear. Everyone may not have a laptop, but nearly everyone does have a smartphone.
On another note, I’ve made career choices that will bring me closer to what I want to do (and allow me to do it). It’s a new year. Both the present and the future are full of opportunity.
