my notes ( ? )
the Internet now seems to be on constant boil... extremists of all stripes are ascendant, and just about everywhere you look, much of the Internet is terrible...social networks seem to be feeding a cycle of action and reaction.
In just about every news event, the Internet’s reaction to the situation becomes a follow-on part of the story, so that much of the media establishment becomes trapped in escalating, infinite loops of 140-character, knee-jerk insta-reaction...Everyone — yours truly included — is always on guard for the next opportunity to meme-ify outrage...what clever quip can you fit into a tweet to quickly begin collecting likes? There is little room for indulging nuance, complexity, or flirting with the middle ground
