Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed an alarming increase in negative feeling on or about social media recently?
Could it be that the possibility of having a well-connected, helpful and positive thinking populace has gotten a number of organisations spooked? News and opinion travel at lighting speed through the social streams, so it is more important than ever to think very carefully about what we want to say and retweet.
This new form of media is a chance for us not to repeat the mistakes of the past. All we hear from the TV and newspapers is bad news. Overexposed, sensationalised bad news. This has skewed our perception of the real world and left us feeling scared and alone.
Social media gives all of us a chance to have a voice and report on all of those things that are happening which are good. We can realign peoples perception of the world. Remind them that we are not all out to kill them. Let’s not allow Agent Smith to be right…
I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization.
