Listen to part of a lecture in a communications class.  
(Professor) 
So to get the ball rolling today, let me just say that as social media 
achieves its full potential, it’ll come to be recognized as one of the 
greatest game changers in all of human history. Now, you may say, 
“What about Watson and Crick’s DNA helix, or the invention of the 
Internet, or computers themselves, or what about nanotechnology?” And 
I admit that social media is not going to be of quite the same scale, 
necessarily, as every last one of these changes. Time will tell. But what I 
am
saying is that I don’t think I’m making something out of nothing. 
Social media is going to be more far-reaching than we can now imagine.
