Is all that liking, commenting & tweeting really good for you?




                                            @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
Who on earth are Equator?




     THE big numbers agency.

                            @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
A Beta Life
Will social media ever be good for us?




                                         @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
We are guinea pigs.


             @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
We are lazy.


          @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
DON’T LIKE
 CHANGE.




        @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
1.
 I’m a profile
 not a person.




@jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
2.
 What’s the first thing
you do in the morning?




                          @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
3.

 Everyone else is
  more popular,
happier, has more
holidays than me.
             @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
4.

      We’re just
piss-farting around.
              @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
One small step for
 man’s friends...

             @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
...one giant leap
   for mankind.

             @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
1.

  Societal
globalisation
           @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
2.

 The weak shall
inherit the earth

             @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
3.

  We will make
things & friends.

             @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
4.

  We won’t
value privacy.

           @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
5.
We will decide to
 de-personalise.




                    @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
6.

We will see the
bigger picture.

            @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
7.
    We’ll be legends
in our own lunchtimes.


                    @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
Digital society
is out of Beta.

            @jamesjefferson   @equatoragency   #smwgla
