It is an important moment in media when we can pause and imagine that the Walter Cronkite moment has passed since Mr. Cronkite’s reign as “The Most Trusted Man in America” from 1962 to 1980 (look it up in Wikipedia, of course).
Media has changed and, along with Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) “an American computer programmer and Internet entrepreneur” (Wikipedia, again!) there is a new buzz and media elite that will not play the same role in our information needy lives but will transform how we see the world around us nevertheless…
These new media movers and shakers are turning all that internet media buzz into real influence and Brink Trucks full of money. The world is changing, the www world that is, while we stand on the ground and in the other world which now seems as anachronistic as Cronkite and as one dimensional as the old TV world of NBC, ABC and CBS…
Ironically, this new “younger world” of media pundits and moguls is not as easy to keep up with as the wave of technology and internet use changes as fast as the millionaires who lead it, Zuckerberg just moved into second place in the “whole world” (WWW and the one we stand on).

“BenSmithing is now an official term!” shouted Michael Hastings, a BuzzFeed reporter and author, at his book release party in Chelsea on a subfreezing night in January. The roomful of young reporters, ad salesmen and b-list political gadflies (Meghan McCain turned heads all night) hooted in

What started as your kids chit chatting and “wasting time on their computer” is now one of the largest money making business in human history and is creating resources that are challenging the wold’s elite in philanthropy…. Such is the new “WWW” world our heads are in with our feet on the ground while we look up at a world that boggles (perhaps “googles”) the mind!
