This week our recommended reading concerned the ‘hive mind’ – a form of communication in which everybody would be telepathically linked – sharing our every idea, thought and memory with those around us. We questioned whether social media platforms (e.g. Facebook) work in this way and I began to query the implications of every individual thought of mine (or those around me) being offered up for consumption.
The increased interconnectedness of humanity is a topic I am intrigued by and something I would like to incorporate within the work I complete in this course.
