The speed of connectivity

Phil Jones,Director and Vice-President of Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce writes a good blog which often focuses on technology new media and its use in commerce.

Yesterday it looked at how technology platforms are making the world a very tiny place.

If you look at how long communication platforms have taken to attract 50m users. Radio = 38 years. TV = 13 Yrs. Myspace = 2 yrs. (Factoid: If Myspace were a country, it would be the fifth largest in the world). Point being, 50M people suddenly became digitally connected in 2 yrs, that's just for starters. So, the theoretical idea that you can (within six steps) be connected to anyone in the world, doesn't seem so unreal.
