Here is some commnets on great interview ..
I was interested in two parts of this interview.

1.Part- Mobilizing of young people during the elections in USA, Obama campaign

There was revolutionary idea, about donating a 1 dollar for Obama campaign, because it was not about money, but abou create a new them for discussion. A lot of people was proud for donating, and says that they donate. This was maybe a first step to start bigger discussion about elections.

2.Change of younger generation

No one want to be a cosmonaut, but everyone want to know everything about facebook, google..

And the answer for title question??

I don´t know exactly, but one example…

Sometimes is about only chasing for new friends, but the meaning of word “friend” in few years ago was absolutely different. Now people met some one new in store and he/she and automatically added him/her like a friend in socialnetwork.. and they are sharing lot of details from personal live.. It´s absolutely crazy! Maybe some division of friends will be good for social networks.

So are you sure that your friends on the social network are your real friends ??
