About

'It's that on the surface it says that "the internet is a new form of democracy". So what you're seeing is a new pluralism, a new collage, a new mosaic of all sorts of different ideas that's genuinely representative. But if you analyse what happens, it simplifies things. [Those in social media] are parasitic upon already existing sources of information - they do little research of their own.

'What then happens is this idea of the 'hive mind', instead of leading to a new plurality or a new richness, leads to a growing simplicity. Far from being "the wisdom of crowds", it's the stupidity of crowds. Collectively what we are doing is creating a more simplified world.'

Adam Curtis.

So this is me stealing other people's creativity (including Adam Curtis'...), what do you think? Get in touch.

Enormous 1845 Panorama of London.
1) This is awesome. Props to IanVisits for putting it up. A range of other ways to view it by clicking the link to him
2) Moving there in two weeks. A bit to the left of Vauxhall. Any tips?
