What's Your Problem?
By Nicholas Ashton, CEO/CIO, CommSmart

Have you
noticed how ‘pissed off’ people
are? Patience is a virtue has gone out
the window! All age groups have lost it!
Even Granma
in the grocery store gets annoyed when her debit card will not work and the
line is getting longer. The cashier is
trying to assist and getting louder each time she tells the aged customer to
try her card again and again.
Most are now
walking in the city streets or mall with their eyes and mind in their
Smartphone as they text and fail to see who they keep bumping into.
You can’t go
to a movie without some nut-job texting
or talk in a phone call during the movie.
The glow of the Smartphone screen distracting your attention from the movie, it
is never ending on the diversions and disruptions that surround us hourly and
daily.
Social Media is Not
Social! It is a total anti-social digression for what
use to be the social norm. Then again,
what is normal anymore?
Fingers and
thumbs have reached such higher levels and include
the U.S. President-Elect, Donald J Trump. It is 140 characters of power for good and
evil, there seems to be nothing in-between.
Once we never
left those hand-written love letters out in the open, they had their own secret
place, hidden, maybe a love box placed in
the corner of a closet away from prying and spying eyes. Today there is no safe nook or cranny to hide
anything, our privacy is gone and will never come back to a level we once
relied on.
Angry,
sadistic so-called humans use social media to conduct illicit business, bully
folks and use in the most despicable ways.
Parents have
no idea what their children’s fingers and thumbs are getting into or who they
are harming with their vile digits.
Employers, again,
are in the same position and are oblivious to
the damage being dealt by individuals which harm the company by their foolish
comments.
Don’t get me
wrong, there is a good side as a superb
communication tool if it is controlled and
those that represent the company or the family understand the potential when
the digits get it wrong!
Law
enforcement, those that are employed to ‘protect
& serve’ can use social media as an amazing two-way communication
tool. Having a Facebook presence which
informs at all levels the actions within the community. Then as a ‘call for action’, events, assistance and dire needed situations
where the public help is required.
Twitter too,
is an amazing digital communicator when in the right hands, we know this as we coach and mentor departments globally of
this growing method of finger chat.
Then we have
an even more positive means of knowing what is out there in the social media
sphere. The ability to monitor all that
is being communicated via Smartphones, tablets,
and computers. Yes, the darker world of fingers and thumbs is not private but very
public.
Compliant Social Media Monitoring with crime analytics is a proven
successful crime fighting tool. Why
need, you ask? It is the new means of ‘bragging’,
they tell us everything of their criminal plans, actions and successes.
Through social connections we know it all,
there is nowhere to hide!
