 To me the most compelling insight I have about networks/media is that it is a useful tool. Without the networks we would pretty much  be into encyclopedias getting our information, but that would take longer for research. While on the other hand we can get information from the internet in just seconds for a research paper. It has become so useful that without it we would be meaningless.
 I also get to thinking that in the future technology is going to be so advanced that it is going to do pretty much everything for us.  For example: it will write for us.  So, what are teachers going to be teaching to the students in the future?
 It is just scary to me to think what kind of technology will be coming out for other future generations. So, I wonder if the new advanced technology will be hard for us to use that our children will call us slow. Just like what we call the older generations today because of their lack of skills to technology.

Measuring metrics

The most important metrics of social media are: traffic, sales, and profit.
Traffic- It is important to measure the quantity of media, rather than the quality.
Sales- is is important to know how you are doing with the sales. Is it selling or not?
Profit- the money earned from you investment and the result in sales from your product.
 Using data from the metrics will allow you to see your progress in the sale. You would be able to know how well or how bad the sell is going. That way you can decide whether you want to keep with the sell or stop. If it is bringing good profits then you will want to keep on selling it. And if the sell is bad, it would be a better idea to remove the product from stock. That way you don't lose anymore than what you have invested.
