For decades now the wall between the ‘celebrity’ and the common man has been tall and wide. Often only seeing them on television or at the movies or maybe, just maybe, if you could make a special event/concert you got to see them from as close as 100 yards away! Wow, they’re right there (squint)!!!

Now, times are changing. Access is changing. Let me geek out for a second as to why. Example, I watch ‘Meet the Press‘ every weekend and really enjoy David Gregory. He’s smart, fair, and encourages good debates on his show. But now he’s on twitter. So I decided to send him a tweet about a guest that should be on his show and within an hour, he responded back. Publicly for all but addressed specifically to me, now how cool is that?!? But it’s already not…cool that is. Why? Because I’m having these all the time now with journalists, politicians, authors, thought leaders, and some of the biggest and brightest minds of our time because of the walls of restricted access are falling down.

Where I’m going with this, however, is this sort of interaction that is novel/cool/kinda geeky today will become standard even tiresome in the future. My daughters will not only have access to but even have conversations with any person on planet they want. Oh, and note, this conversation could take place on the computer but probably won’t. “That’s so 2000s, Dad!”

Doubt me? Welcome the single most powerful woman on the planet to Twitter as of today. Hi @oprah, welcome to the conversation.
