While it refers to using the phone to connect with another person, in today's world we have almost unlimited resources for making connections. First, no one has all the information and resources they need. As people, we are not self contained, isolated, independently functioning beings. Networking is not a solitary experience. Networking results in empowerment and empowerment happens when successful connections are made.
Empowerment facilitates transformation and transformation never occurs in a vacuum.
The end result of successful networking is transformation of situations, people, organizations, businesses, etc. Just as the commercial indicates, we can reach out through technology. The telephone is probably our basic high tech communication vehicle. Rapidly expanding technology allows us to have conference calls connecting people around the world at the same time over the telephone. Cellular phones allow us to communicate from airplanes, mountain tops, and cars.
