The Fifth Element - Human Interaction

In the movie the 5th Element, the world is saved by a woman who becomes the focal point of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. In essence, it's a person who recognizes creation and speaks love against the evil that's about to consume Earth. It's a network of the critical elements that we see in our world - elements which can be used for good or for evil.

Social Media is an opportunity for people to be able to use the Internet, the Web, the virtual world, in ways we've never been able to communicate and work together before. It's interesting that this phenomenon is growing so quickly and yet the impacts on our society, our businesses, our governments, and our personal lives are still not clear.

It's the interaction of ethics, integrity and morality in Web 2.0 which is show us for who we really are - a mirror for each person that is shown to the entire globe. So how much thought should we put into a blog? Top of mind thoughts, reactions to things we've seen, or something which really contributes back to the world and reflects who we are - moments captured in the digital world.
