THE HISTORY OF SOCIAL MEDIA

THE OLD SOCIAL MEDIA

THE REIGN OF SOCIAL MEDIA“The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.” -M. Robespierre, 1758 - 1794.

THE REIGN OF SOCIAL MEDIA Conclusion: Throughout history, crowds have rarely, if ever been active forces for good.

FROM CONVERSATION TO COLOSSEUM =“The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.” -Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106 - 43 BCE.

FROM CONVERSATION TO COLOSSEUMConclusion: Conversation devoid of subsequent action has no legitimacy.

A MILLION VILLAGES“In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet.” -Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Nigel, 1906.

A MILLION VILLAGESConclusion: Communities are often conceived as barriers to the world, not gateways.

DIGITAL DUELISTS“I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand lead him to a quiet place and kill him.” -Mark Twain, 1835 - 1910.

DIGITAL DUELISTSConclusion: Debate issues are often times imaginary, or created simply for the purposes of the duel.
