-==Contributing Factors==
-Unprecedented technological advancements that are leading to resource rich and mobile computing devices, decreasing communication cost, and [[Web 2.0]] technologies are fundamentally changing the way we communicate, socialize, learn, and collaborate to create a better world while propelling us to the social age of societal development. Social age revolves around society, its people, and their needs where the technology is adopted, extended, or invented as a tool to achieve those needs. These changes are enabling people to express themselves in creative ways, stay in touched with loved ones, gain/give attention, foster sharing and collaboration, unite for a common cause, etc.

-Though some people believe that these changes are only relevant in social interactions or to [[Generation Y]] and [[Generation Z]], they have a much broader impact in many areas such as media, business, marketing, politics, social welfare, etc. Some of the examples include CNN iReport and Blogs<ref>CNN Blogs, Available: http://www.cnn.com/exchange/blogs/index.html?hpt=Sbin</ref>, [[Wiki]]s, [[blog]]s, and private social networking site maintained by businesses for their customers and employees, President Barack Obama's campaign<ref>How Obama Tapped Into Social Networks’ Power, Available: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/10/business/media/10carr.html</ref><ref>Obama Social, Available: http://www.slideshare.net/saydowin/obama-social</ref>, and DARPA Network Challenge<ref>DARPA Network Challenge, Available: https://networkchallenge.darpa.mil</ref>.
