SOCIAL MEDIA BULLIES THE BULLIES!!!

Since the beginning of time the average person has suffered the tyranny of big institutions, governments and all big companies that decide  to monopolies almost all arenas of the suposedly free market. With the increased human connectivity due to social media we see that changing every day. More than ever to day big companies government official have to be very careful what they say or do.
Take for example  Anthony Weiner the democrat congress man from New york that was practically forced out of congress due to his indecent behavior after getting involved in a sexting scandal twice..



After watching this video, i thought back to the French revolution of 1789 and i can honestly say i don't think the average school teacher could pause the same question to Louis the sixteenth.. i mean the french had to revolt and kill their king leading to long period of blood shed just so they can have the chance to have food and better living conditions and today all it takes is a post on twitter to cause change. The Streisand effect: is another aspect of social media that was not intended when Mark Zuckerburg came up with Facebook or when twitter and all other social media platforms were created. But today even a video post of a rendition on youtube can really affect a big company.Back in 2009 a customer with United airlines contacted the company and claimed that his property was damaged on a flight. Of course like all big companies they treat him with indifference but in stead of hiring some big shot attorney and spending millions on never ending law suits he simply took to youtube
.

 watching this video you can't help to think that social media has really give me and you the average Joe a means to fight back.

HOW SOCIAL MEDIA DRIVES US CRAZY

It used to be that popular people where just the faces you knew or like people that are widely known but social media just turned them into royalty and us the people that watch from the side lines in to crazed idiots who would do any thing to get close to the new kind of royalty.

I am big fan of some what a popular show called weeds on cable TV. Am a grown man and student at university... so that in a way means i am not the kind that gives into the crazed celebrity hype that is all over the internet.
But is it not crazy that i have talked about a twenty year old that goes to my university like a million times in the past hour alone...The funny thing through, this past hour i have received 10 calls from friends i thought were long lost to me and  about 20 people have comment on my posts on Facebook... All because of this kid right here..
