(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home3/retailp1/public_html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6114<\/p>\n One of my favorite quotes about social media is from noted\u00a0social scientist\u00a0and technology expert,Clay Shirky<\/a>. It goes like this: “Tools don’t get socially interesting until they get technologically boring. It isn’t when the shiny\u00a0new tools show up that their new uses start permeating society, it’s when everybody is\u00a0able to take them for granted.” The point here is that the technology isn\u2019t\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0what matters. What does matter is the social change the technology fosters.<\/p>\n A perfect illustration of this took shape\u00a0last week when a story broke concerning global apparel retailer\u00a0H&M<\/a>. The New York Times\u00a0reported<\/a>\u00a0that H&M was discovered destroying and discarding large quantities of perfectly good (but unsold) clothing at its 34th Street location in Manhattan.<\/p>\n Despite the Time\u2019s request for comment, H&M remained mum on the issue \u2013 presumably hoping it would\u00a0go away. But then something remarkable happened. Something that only a few years ago couldn\u2019t have taken place. Twitter got a hold of the story and within minutes the issue was rocketing up the\u00a0trending topics<\/em>\u00a0list.<\/p>\n
