Whenever humans start to develop their tools, they want to extend the range of their senses. In modern cities you see them outsourcing their thinking to build a new virtual interbrain. Guarding the social networks as their new Tamagotchis the nerds start to transform into real cyborgs.
More and more they feed this interbrain to take space in virtual spheres and evolve their socialisation. They feel complete only with permanent interaction, success by access. The interbrain is always hungry. It wants to upload all the time. Feed to live, live to feed - the boundaries are blurred.
Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and all their schizophrenic virtual brain locations are interacting themselves. I think therefore I am turns to I upload to be.
Not to be online is nearly the private death. This development depersonalizes the public space. The citizen disappears.

Values ​​are drifting further towards virtual worlds. The more confusing the real world becomes, the more pleasant the virtual world appears. When asked what should be done with white trash when it is no longer of any use, a controversial intellectual from the Friends of Davos said: drugs and video games. And let's not forget football, for the old people who can't quite make it into the digital world. Heart disease among young people is increasing, birth rates are plummeting. C e n s @ r s h i p is paving the way. The big party has begun, dancing on the volcano. And everything is a big repetition, peace is treason and against morality. Doubt is not allowed. But let's be honest, the grave goods have never been so beautiful.
