Gone are the days where workers could comfortably plan to stay in one job, or industry, for their entire career.

Why Some Social Network Services Work and Others
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. Why Some Social Network Services Work and Others Don't
I think this is right in an important way. "The social networking services that really work are the ones that are built around objects." I've said the same thing elsewhere, but this article makes it clear why this is the case: "social networks consist of people who are connected by a shared object." Now in my way of thinking, the object is itself a stand-in for shared meaning; that's why I call it a semantic social network rather than an object oriented social network. More...

The Most Popular Social Network for Young People?
By Stephen Downes - Stephen's Web. The Most Popular Social Network for Young People? Texting
Derek Thompson, The Atlantic, 2014/09/30
