Always loved Bowie. Rock for the intelligent.

Bowie nailed it.

The internet (apps and social media) is not a tool, it first learns about you and then gives you a curated reality.

So many people don’t understand just how much the way they think is directed by their phone or other device.

Here at least you do see most points of view.

We're still at the beginning.

In the way the modern press has enabled modern democracy, the internet is just beginning to play its hand at politics.

@xenon said in David Bowie talking in 1999 about how the internet will affect society:

the modern press has enabled modern democracy

Tell that to the New York Post.

Modern democracy

Is that where mob rule owns the streets?
