9. THE HISTORY OF
SOCIAL MEDIA

10. THE OLD SOCIAL MEDIA

11. THE REIGN OF SOCIAL
MEDIA
“The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of
tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.”
-M. Robespierre, 1758 - 1794.

12. THE REIGN OF SOCIAL
MEDIA
Conclusion: Throughout history, crowds have rarely, if
ever been active forces for good.

13. FROM CONVERSATION
TO COLOSSEUM
=
“The magistrates are the ministers for the laws, the judges their interpreters, the rest of
us are servants of the law, that we all may be free.”
-Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106 - 43 BCE.

14. FROM CONVERSATION
TO COLOSSEUM
Conclusion: Conversation devoid of subsequent action has no
legitimacy.

15. A MILLION VILLAGES
“In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear
and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet.”
-Arthur Conan Doyle, Sir Nigel, 1906.

16. A MILLION VILLAGES
Conclusion: Communities are often conceived as barriers to the
world, not gateways.

17. DIGITAL DUELISTS
“I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly
and forgivingly by the hand lead him to a quiet place and kill him.”
-Mark Twain, 1835 - 1910.

18. DIGITAL DUELISTS
Conclusion: Debate issues are often times imaginary, or created
simply for the purposes of the duel.
