Sunthemata27 on Nostr: Hardly anything which I came across social media I found to be useful and most of ...
Hardly anything which I came across social media I found to be useful and most of what I read on SM was forgotten after max. 24h, for me this vindicates McLuhans mantra, “the medium (not the content) is the message”, but what exactly does this medium (SM) carry as a message? Simulation of human relationships accompanied by swarm thinking and a plethora of other collective ills, instantaneous access to entertainment, never ending noise, feeling of accomplishment by posting something, feeling of being heard of being connected.
This connectedness in a atomistic society constitutes the real message, life and social relations chopped up and made ready for consumption.
