Without getting into the whole debate on where our current modes of media are taking us, whether positive or negative (and this is a big discussion), and while it looks positive in the direction of Social Media, all of us in favor of where the world is headed can still poke fun at the jokes […]
UPDATE: The Human Condition: Do we just not care or just not notice?
