The more we use the web, the more we train our brain to be distracted--to process information very quickly and very efficiently but without sustained attention. Our brains become adept at forgetting, inept at remembering. As our use of the web makes it harder for us to lock info into our biological memory, we’re forced to rely more and more on the net’s capacious and easily accessible artificial memory, even if it makes us shallower thinkers.

When we are apart: hypervigiliance; when we are together: inattention. This is our paradox. -Sherry Turkle

Bluefacing

Very inspired by @adbusters goal to occupy silicon valley on sept 17th. Overwhelmed by the influence big tech has over you? Fight back.. there are power in numbers ! As they explain, “Big Tech competes for one thing: our attention. They exploit our basic human instincts in the pursuit of unprecedented financial and cultural control”

@adbusters asks: “What do we give up when we allow four corporations to define our human existence—our socialization, our storytelling, our sharing? How deep will they go when so far, we've been complicit in letting them dig?”  This SEPT 17th as we near the anniversary of occupy wall street, I am inspired by their passion to #fuckitall and am contributing these GIFs made form images in their mag to contribute to the flooding of memes, posts, pranks, tweets, and statuses—”overflowing with everything Silicon Valley wants to keep offline”

On September 17th, free yourself from the psychological overreach of big tech. Join @adbusters to #occupysiliconvalley
