"We, as human beings, think that through social networks, we've somehow become more social creatures.
The problem with this theory is, the more we "connect" online, the less actual human interactions we have, making us actually fairly unsocial.
A new video breaks down exactly how the social aspects of human beings have evolved and transformed, showing how we've regressed from a social standpoint."
Drew Whitworth has an ecological approach to media, information production and consumption that complements the fast food metaphor for information choices in the Filter Bubble video. I'm unsure if the metaphor is valid, but he makes several interesting points. And, the presentation style of the video is worth a look too. ocTEL http://octel.alt.ac.uk/forums/topic/week-4-drew-whitworth-link-broken/
