From the Sumerian’s pictographic clay tablets, homing pigeons and foot messengers, all the way through to the telegraph and telephone, and Wi-Fi computing, humankind has embraced group learning and communications. Our first “online” social networks developed through the phone system and those channels have merged and evolved with Web technologies. How are these early channels leading us into new areas to build stronger relationships with employees, partners, and customers?
Businesses who understand transitions from disruptive to enabling technologies have a head start on success. The future of social media will be led by organizations that think beyond today’s popular sites and platforms. The future of social media enhances communications by emphasizing the human component, taking you just one step closer to connecting with your friends, family, suppliers, and most importantly your customers. Learn the new way to listen!
