Quote: "Iphone, youtube, myspace, see a connection. Now try?"
They are all social applications. They are for all, Iphone stresses "I", you phone people and engage in social conversation, should it be "wephone", only its about everything but phoning people and being social, its all gadgets one uses by "oneself". Youtube, should it be we tube or everyone tube, you "share" videos, not so by the title, its yours, you tube, just for "you". Myspace, again its a "social" networking service, only it says myspace, as in mine, just me, mine, all mine, my space, are you in my space, whats with the "my", shouldn't a social site be "our" space, as its something shared, sharing, filthy word isn't it, better sick with "my".
Lets look at something that is marketed as social in its name.
Nintendo wii, you play generally console games alone, but its called wii, or "we", like its a social event. Its always advertised as social, see the adverts, always a group playing, always more than one, but console games, are mainly played on ones own. Especially ones without a net hookup.
So see where this goes, social applications are all, "I" "me" and "you", and a solitary application is called wii or "we".
So either, the public are selfish and you can only have a successful product by marketing selfishness, even if its premise is a social product. So the people are not really social creatures, even though the product is social, the people are "really" selfish, so it must be marketed to such selfish people. "Ohh what selfish creatures we all are".
Or its social engineering, to encourage selfish ideas, as in, I, my or you, and not us, our or we, or could one say "solitary singular people".
Or its one for the coincendence theorists, nothing to see, its all a big coincidence, as there are special people and organisations whose job it is looking after us, and they can hardly sleep at night for worrying about us, like a big extension of your mothers womb, ohh ain't that sweet.
Have a "Ithink" on that one then.
