Good points, Hosh.
From that wired article "But none before has felt as free to call bullshit on conventional wisdom" Bingo - I had a conversation the other day with someone explaining an interaction I had with a 'non-connected' neighbor and how that neighbor only knows what they've learned from those people immediately around them and what TV tells them. And that there is a divide between them and those who are connected. All I can think when talking to them is 'bullshit' since the facts are readily available.*
* I suspect this is a good thing but I also think there will be a partial boomerang with those who have access to 'all the collective knowledge of the world' looking for true 'wisdom of the elders' for lack of a better way to state it. Especially those looking to cut through the noise and all the fucking notifications.
- hosh 14y agoYeah, the internet isn't the end-all, be-all. We're trading one mode for another, and at least for the moment, people who are connected have some material advantages. Probably the big thing is learning how to be with just you yourself. To be fair, this wasn't any more popular in the pre-Internet days.
