So what happened in 2010 according to the words and phrases we searched in Google?

This video highlights the various searches and trends that defined 2010. From our economy to unemployment from the Gulf Oil Spill to the Haiti Earthquake, from the Winter Olympics to the World Cup – so much happened in 2010.

The impact of social media on actual live social interaction really cuts both ways. Yes it does open a venue in which people can hide behind computer, interact through online personalities, and perhaps under-develop their social abilities. It’s so much easier to comment or like someone’s post or post up updates about your own life. But in the same time, it does open a venue in which friends can interact more often which in itself can lead them to hang out more in the real world and keep up with one another when you probably wouldn’t have done so in the real world to begin with.

Twitter still hasn’t found a unique and clear identity, however, what we do know is this…

“…virtually all of the practices that nearly wrecked the global economy back in 2008 were legal—all of which goes to prove that just because something is legal doesn’t make it ethical or right… So the question isn’t “why?” but “why not?” If the only thing standing between you and millions, even billions, is other people’s disapproval, why not do what you want to do?”
