13. The New Social
Operating System
“Institutions—both formal, such as
schools, and informal, such as
families—were once at the center
of our societies.
Now we are.
Each of us, with our mobile
phones, is connecting across and
within institutional boundaries. The
result, which the authors call
“networked individualism,” is
profound.”

16. US Bishops on Social Media
“Because it is so different from mass media and
mass communication, social media is creating a
new culture on this Digital Continent.
Young people use it as their first point of
reference....The implications of that for a church
which is struggling to get those same young
people to enter our churches on
Sunday are staggering.
If the church is not on their mobile device, it
doesn’t exist. The Church does not have to change
its teachings to reach young people, but we must
deliver it to them in a new way.”

Editor's Notes
There is much talk these days about the rapid pace of change; so rapid that the present only may be described from the past. Illustrating this point is an interesting advertisement, seen on airport walls, depicting the evolution of music technology using four images: vinyl albums (50-60s) eight track tapes (70s) to cassette tapes (80s) to CDs (90s), and finally to iPods and MP3 players (current decade). This simple depiction is both symbolic and a real example of the rapid rate of change of all technology. It demonstrates that information may be broken down into smaller and smaller bits, reproduced at faster and faster rates, and accessed and consumed by growing audiences of individuals and groups, causing the content we share to multiply at rates beyond our imagination.Technology, however, is not the only part of our world experiencing rapid change.
Twitter, instagram, youtube, linked in, facebook, pinterest, just to name a few. How do we use this social media to create or sustain communities of practice?<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?><poll url="http://www.polleverywhere.com/multiple_choice_polls/LTE5OTcyNjA0MTM"> <!-- This snippet was inserted via the PollEv Presenter app --> <!-- The presence of this snippet is used to indicate that a poll will be shown during the slideshow --> <!-- TIP: You can draw a solid, filled rectangle on your slide and the PollEv Presenter will automatically display your poll in that area. --> <!-- The PollEv Presenter app must also be running and logged in for this to work. --> <!-- To remove this, simply delete it from the notes yourself or use the PollEv Presenter to remove it for you. --> <title>How did you listen to the music as a teenager?</title></poll>
Things have changed recently at a very rapid pace, as anyone who tries to keep up with understands (i.e., still saying web 2.0 vs. social web). Consider the technology for the automobile... Technology has so impacted how cars are made and how they operate that a car today is incredibly different from a car 20-40 years ago. My grandpa could fix a lot in his cars back in the day. Now a scope and a mechanic with computer certification is required to make those repairs. Consider the amount of technology just in your world... Now in our world... (invite participants to name all the tech that they use and that others around them use). “A clutch is a clutch, but not so much!”
Virtual trainer: put this link up in the back channel for people (source of quote): http://www.jisc.ac.uk/publications/reports/2007/twweb2.aspxSome compare this to the printing press for everyone not just those with journalistic credentials, the citizen journalist. Marketers used to assume they knew what we wanted, now they know, based on a variety of means—name examples, e.g., hulu.com asks “was this ad relevant to you?”, etc.Expand upon these three C’s of Web 2.0 which we will be exploring further today in this workshop by sharing stories about this from your experience, e.g., connecting with an old friend on facebook, sharing pictures with grandparents of kids, reviewing hotels on tripadvisor, etc.Then ask, how many people believe this, that we are or have constructed a new social fabric? Ask for raise of hands, encourage back channel conversation (virtual trainer).
SHARE:The Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate looked at sacramental participation by generation. It found a marked decrease of the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation by 10% or more per generation. This is a further indicator of the movement of young people and their families away from the church.
NOTE:The purpose of the next set of slides is two-fold. To give your audience an understanding of today’s young people in light of their Catholic faith To create a sense of urgency SHARE:Research has told us much about today’s Catholic young person. The Pew Forum on Faith and Society conducted a study called “Faith in Flux” where they looked at religious switching and religious dropping out. What they found is that Catholics who leave their faith approximately 60% of them do so between the ages of 13 and 23. This is a stark reminder of the critical season of adolescence and young adulthood. Many of those who leave the church do not join other Christian denominations. They become one of the fast growing segments in the past 10 years: the “None”s – those who identify themselves as having no religious affliliation.
You need a p
Its really ALL about evangelization... Just another tool with which to do it. Evangelization isn’t the 5th E, it is and should be infused into all the E-principles that we discuss today.
So, What would Jesus tweet? What do you think the caption for this photo might be?Joke: the real caption for this photo is probably, “what the heck is my password again?”Really, how would Jesus share the good news today?
Between now and 2014, the tablet market is estimated to grow 123% (http://gigaom.com/mobile/stat-shot-mobile-computing-has-won-2/). Ask participants to share some of their favorite apps, backchannel and live. Virtual trainer can share examples about app usage and young people/children from experience. Some parents today use apps just like our parents used TV to babysit us. We need to monitor those games and apps and balance usage. Critical thinking and how to access media.Again, experts believe that more users will connect to the Internet via mobile devices than desktop PCs within 5 years.Source: morganstanley.com/institutional/techresearch/mobile_internet_report122009.html
