Technology, The Information Age, and Perception: C-004 Social Media is The Agora, Forum, Curia of the Modern Society Social media platforms are the modern example of how human behavior has changed very little. Even archeology sites of #Stonehenge and #GobekliTepi are testaments to this. Whether they are called #Agora, #Forum, or #Curia it is a recurring behavior of humanity to invent gathering places for the sharing of ideas. Like with any invention or activity, how it is used determines its value in being beneficial or detrimental. How are each one of us using this tool, this invention? Are we sharing knowledge, offering solutions? Are we expressing reason or just venting our feelings? One day (if it is not already happening) someone will write an algorithm to evaluate attitudes and perceptions of society, find new ideas, find talented people or any other expressible human attribute. Will they use the knowledge we are all providing for good or ill? What does the nature and history of human behavior tell you? #Technology, #InformationAge, #Perception http://www.differencebetween.net/business/difference-between-agora-and-forum/
