Internet a new trend seems to be emerging. In the days long before the
Internet and when Prince was just going from Prince to TAFKAP and a
symbol, peoples social needs were completely different. It was about
the Nike Air shoes that everyone wanted and it was about the Party
that everyone would be going to. Peoples social needs were
materialistic and they were a commodity that actually had a value.
The regular junta post Internet period now is completely different.
Social status is not based on who has the Nike air shoes or who went
to the pink Floyd concert or which parties u attend. On the contrary
social status is based on who is the first one to get on the band
wagon of anythig new in the Internet.
Email was long available to everyone through yahoo and hotmail and USA.net
and whole other services. Then came in gmail with invites to gmail.
Everyone I knew back in 2002-2003 wanted to get into gmail. Then came
facebook, privy at first just to college kids and then opened up to
everyone. And now comes Twitter withthe retweet button, available to
some but not everyone. There's a reason why these things are in beta
mode. So that people could try it out before and give some kinda
feedback, utterly importantone that I's. Boy if I get one of these
requests it could drive me nuts in half a day.
Later now, time to sleep.
Spread peace and love!!!
