Social media transforming hunter-gatherers into sharers


  

It's about 'sharing genius' as Bob Garfield wrote in his article on AdAge Blogs "Why we all live in a curation nation". In that piece Bob wrote:

"We all know about the proverbial million monkeys at a million typewriters eventually reproducing the complete works of Shakespeare. Well, those monkeys are hard at work -- only there are billions of them -- and they are as a group exponentially more ingenious and productive than even the most elite of the Old Guard. Every second they produce brilliance which you could never hope to find. In the Curation Nation, the genius will surface."

Social media has made it possible to transform the hunter-gather journalist into the curator-sharer journalist
