PUBLICATION
What is The Social Game?
The idea of the publication and why it is needed
Being part of the internet revolution and all that belongs to it ever since it started, made and makes me feel both excited over the possibilities and scared of the threats.
It is common to talk about the escalating amounts of data in the world and the incredibly huge numbers of web pages, blog posts, and other communication — but it is not so common to talk about the human consequences.
Most recently, AI has become a pet topic to debate, and AI definitely has a bunch of consequences for society — for technology, processes, collaboration, employment, and, indeed, people.
But people are already under pressure from social media. This is something mostly forgotten in today’s excitement over social media marketing strategies, building up a followership, making money on “low content publications”, and so forth.
The train is running at high speed, escalating even more, but we are forgetting to stop now and then in order to take people onboard or let them off. We have forgotten all about where we came from and where we thought we wanted to go — the only thing on our minds is now SPEED and more SPEED, believing that it leads to MONEY and more MONEY.
