Social Mediais a set of tools and websites that feel like the empower us as individuals by enabling conversation, transparency and all these good things - but they just provide a TV dinner version of a real meal. Addictive and bad for us.
Social media

The internet
new ingredients
new recipes
MSM have stolen them and pre-packaged them into “social media”.
prove to us that somehow all this facebook flatulence, twatter bleeping and blogger blathering is good for me, or society, or any but the most old-fashioned and manipulative of business?
So, negative team
SMDs are playing into businesses’ hands by telling consumers they are empowered by social media. They are not.
We need to avoid bad businesses’ pre-packaged social media diet, go back to the raw ingredients and “cook” for ourselves.
History is changed by people who get pissed off. If you want to make computers that really work, create a design team composed only of healthy, active women with lots else to do in their lives.
Do not under any circumstances consult anyone who (a) is fascinated by computer games (b) tends to describe silly things as "totally cool" (c) has nothing better to do except fiddle with these damn things night after night.
