Not long ago, while I was waiting in the airport and watching Inception on my PSP, I was infatuated with the notion that the plot echoed the emergence of social media.
Think social media. Now think of it as an idea. It would appear that the introduction of this idea [of social media] into our collective consciousness is something boarding on inception; and this idea has taken hold in a very real way. The everyday lives of millions have changed.
Ever wonder how this idea was introduced to you? Was it email? How about the first time you read about 'WEB 2.0'? Or was it instant messaging? Chat room? Fact is this idea [social media] has taken hold and is now influencing societal trends and has made information a viable, profitable, commodity.
Social media has become consensual policy.
Are we unnerved or giddily horrified that the premise of inception and the ends of social media are fundamentally the same? So what's the kick?
