I often hear people saying the explosion of social media in the 21st century is, in fact "anti-social" ,and causes us to become more "isolated" rather than more "social".  I wanted to share a TEDxTalk on this very topic presented by Dr. James Rawson.  He argues that social media can build a virtual community in which to transform the sharing of ideas into real life endeavors. Social media can be used to build connections and relationships to have impact on the world.

What do you think? Is social media isolating or bridge-building. Here is the link to Dr. Rawson's TEDxTalk
