Looking back at the history of modern technology, it's incredible how far we've come in such a short period of time. Parents remember life without a cell phone, while kids were born with them as part of their DNA (practically).

Parents struggle to keep up, kids can't wait for the next thing.

Social Media:
5.22 billion unique mobile device users.
4.20 billion social media users.
+1.0% (population growth), +1.8% (mobile user growth), +7.3% (Internet user growth), and +13.2% (active social media user growth) - All annual.
2.32 billion active monthly Facebook users.
2.5 hours per day spent on social networks and messaging (on average).
Most popular social platforms (in order): Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Instagram, Weixin/WeChat, TikTok, QQ, Douyin, Sina Weibo, Telegram, Snapchat, Kuaishou, Pinterest, Reddit, Twitter, and Quora.

Devices:
Average number of connected devices per household in 2020 (worldwide): 10
The smart home market will grow by $54 billion by 2022.
IoT data volume is expected to grow to nearly 79.4 zettabytes by 2025.
Worldwide network device ownership will be 3.6 per person in 2023.

All this comes with a price. What is the price and how will we pay for it? We've adopted technology so fast, MUCH faster than our ability to use it responsibly and MUCH faster than our ability to secure it.

Where are we? How did we get here? Are we OK with where we're at, or are we heading for disaster?

Good luck taking the phone out of your kids hands! Look down at your own.

This will be a great Shit Show!
