It's on computers now!

The main communication technology that the general population practices today would either be television, e-mail or phone-based communications. Even more recently, social websites and blogs including, but not limited to MySpace and Facebook have taken over the lives of varying demographics. I’m not sure if I would consider these sites as the ‘most important’ practices, but they would be a good start in trying to answer the ‘why?’ Advertising; it is the main financial cash-cow that keeps the wheels of the World Wide Web churning. These mega-sites with millions of unique users, cash in on the advertising. From an entrepreneurial standpoint that would seem like a very important aspect, as far as the potential for growth and expansion, both physically and financially. Other types of communication technologies used today have been in place for a while and are not really evolving as fast as these newer websites.
