I feel exactly what you are saying in the last paragraph. So then my question is then: why do churches generally put so much emphasis on having worship as a part of the weekly services?

For that [insert longevity of worship portion of service], it is completely the worship leader's responsibility to ensure that the church is an atmosphere FOR (not of) worship. That being said, they generally oversee things like lighting, any effects or "entertainment".

If it is not necessary to worship, then I must conclude that it is there to ENHANCE (that's a dangerous word in regards to worship).

enhance: To make greater, as in value, beauty, or effectiveness.

So we can add on to worship? That scares me.

BTW, I think this is a great post. The video does bring up a lot of relevant, interesting and controversial points. :)

I definitely think that YouTube should be considered social media.

I just think that, like the buzz phrase "Web 2.0" there should be some sort of standard definition, otherwise (like Wes is pointing out) it just becomes a term to draw attention for sales or site hits..

I second this.

I don't know about you, but I (and MANY/ALL of my colleagues use AIM on a daily basis).

Regardless, I agree that Google and Wikipedia are not "social media". Since when did ALL user generated content become social? If that's the case, the entire internet could be umbrella'd as a "social network".

The point is that "social media" is not so much the revolution as the internet and technology is. Social media is but a piece of it. While AOL and Netscape might have been a pawn, social networking is more a bishop, or even a queen.

Will this, however, be the peak of social media? I doubt it. More like a stepping stone. Like the video mentioned, people aren't using newspapers nearly as much. It's just the beginning of something substantial (we're only seeing glimpses right now). This is an aspect of the future they didn't forecast years ago. Forget about flying cars, this is it.

I'd be interested to see which stats were false. Have any examples?
