Great TED talk about the internet and specifically social media (or as the speaker calls them, "behavior modification empires").

@gemlog whoops, sorry about that. It's only my 25th year or so on the internet.
@gabe The guy is not the most compelling 'entertainer'/speaker, but the info is very good. Especially https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Norbert_Wiener#The_Human_Use_of_Human_Beings_%281950%29 insights.
Very good talk. Very good. And optimistic in the end.
