There was an RSA talk by Eli Pariser recently which speculated that the prevalence of ‘liking’ is creating a crude social and political discourse in which relations are only either based on ‘liking’ or ‘disliking’; and in an adolescent mode we ‘poke’ on another. This is a parody of choice, and promotes a sense of pseudo prioritisation, and affection. Jim Krantz (ISPSO and worklab) speculates that an adult-to-adult social media world is yet to be designed.
