Here are a couple of examples of technology simplified:
Facebook. One of the most popular social media application on the planet. All it is really is an advanced message board.
Twitter. Hailed as Cadillac of micro-blogging and one of the most popular social media applications sitting alongside Facebook. At it’s core it’s an advanced text messaging platform.

Yes, their innovative. Yes, their useful and relevant to much of what we do. And yes, they work. Strip away all the bells and whistles, and look under the hood to gain intimate insights.
This process will enable you to have an overstanding of social media, not just an understanding. To overstand something is to be aware of how something works from the ground up and everything related to it – it’s an encomassing view.
Hopefully, by breaking down social media to it’s most basic parts you will not be sidetracked by all the hype that surrounds it which can potentially numb your execution and effectiveness.
Can you discern more examples?
