Newspapers, Electricity (let's call this a platform), Radio, TV did not penetrate 99% (don't quote me on the number) of the planet's population.
Social media did/does since 99% of the people can have a portable computer in their pockets.
(I am using '99%' very liberally - every person that can, has, and there are very few that avoid social media like the plague)
It feels like every next technology was had larger audience than the previous one (on its peak).
I remember a friend telling me about Instagram, and I was thinking 'how is this a good idea??' well, turns out it's not the best. And I fear that with Zuck becoming best friends with DJT he will eventually make his dream come true and make that 'instagram for pedophiles' (aka Instagram for kids). Then give it 10 years and let's see what DSM or ICD10 will say about that.
But hey.. money, amiright? Like the famous New Yorker cartoon about shareholders.
