Social Media in Plain English - 0 views

  •  
    This video is an allegory that compares a community with social media. It's not so much the topic as the presentation - instead of giving us a dry and boring synopsis of what social means and can achieve, it found an analogy and uses simple animation and enthusiastic narration to get its point across.

Studies have shown that our habitual practices can actually change our neuronal structures, and what is more habitual than our constant use of the internet? This article posits that we may be losing some of our capability for contemplative concentration due to technology and a culture that is no longer print-based.
