Everyday leadership also means being aware of the technology that enhances how we influence people. According to this infographic, social media has been around since 1969. I would posit that social media has been around since the printing press was invented. Although early media was not interactive, it accelerated communications and person-to-person interaction. We're social beings and if we expand our thinking, even cave art was social media. As Solomon said, there's nothing new under the sun. We have innovations and inventions, but the foundational activity is communication that moves us from caves to condos and beyond.
This picture shows how social media has developed over the years. It mentions how many people thought that social media was started with facebook, when in reality it was really started by other projects that you can see above. This picture/concept shows the differences between which sites took off and which didn't, depending on our cultural preferences.
