Social Media Week 2

Annalee Newitz lecture on social media and its invasive nature to control our brains was refreshing. Many of the books and movies she described I have read. However, do I believe that people we be willing to have their brains used as a collective consciousness? No. Why? The reason is obvious. All these dystopian and utopian movies and books demonstrate our in born fears. These fears are so strong that our nation I doubt will ever agree to such a power that controls our lives, and minds. We complain about the power our government has upon us now. I do not see it happening, perhaps I will be wrong, who knows.
