Eventually there will be a subculture of ghosts.

vvintermute:

These people will not own cell phones. They will not run blogs or update statuses on social networks. They will not have email addresses, they will not watch movie trailers or download music or buy apps.

And in that way, they will not exist. They will be a part of no corporate consumer surveys, they will not receive personalized advertisements, google and facebook will know nothing about them. They will speak to their friends face to face or not at all. They will carry paper and pencil and know only what their eyes and ears tell them.

Mark my words.

Eventually, there will be a subculture of ghosts.

    It’s interesting. Almost futuristic schi-fi novelesque when you think about it.

About me

Social anthropologist, clairvoyant, postfuturist.

My work is social tools and their impact on media, business, and society.

I am made greater by the sum of my connections, and so are my connections.
