The old saying still applies but there are other brief ways to describe life in America today. How about America land of the social presence, home of the demographic metrics? It doesn't have the same ring but it is true for better or worse.

At this point, most of us have some experience in dealing with demographics, social media metrics and digital marketing terminology. Everyday we are inundated with likes, shares, follows, subscriptions and lumped into different categories. We are viewed as numbers, ages and classified by our gender and culture for a variety of reasons.

This can be a maddening way to view the world but the data can sometimes be fun. If you look hard enough, you can find useless stories to entertain yourself and impress your friends.
