Collective mind
The digital media technology, which is now in common use, was conceived to give us a completely new collective capability—to think and create together, as cells in a single mind do. By using it in the manner that suited the old technology—to merely broadcast information—we ended up breeding collective insanity, not collective intelligence as the creators of the new technology intended.
Being immersive and ever-present, the new media damage also our personal ability to comprehend and create.
