Reminds me of a Wiener Zeitung article I once read in which the author celebrates the Treaty of Berlin proclaiming the dawn of a new era and the end of wars.[/quote]
I think what you’re saying is that you believe I’m being a little optimistic regarding the ability of social media to change human nature of starting and creating wars. I guess what I’m saying is that wars are possible, but will be much more difficult to do openly(would probably have to use drones, or poison). Utilizing Milgram’s experiment, I would say that it would be akin to shocking someone while both of you have the ability to see each other.[/quote]
The power of media lies in its ability to expand the area of concern. The enemies used to live next door, or within walking distance.
Today, the enemies are on the other side of the world in Eastasia or Eurasia, one quick Instagram post away. And they are coming to get you.
