It makes you think how mad compulsive consumerism is.<br /><br />Maybe it's a stampede effect or group behavior, but when enough people start doing something it compels other people to do the same. Like facebook. Some years ago everybody had an orkut account and facebook was an unknown. Then FB started to grow but it still was something of a hipster thing. And then most your friends were on facebook and stopped using orkut and you had to switch. I think this illustrates how we deal with technology today.<br /><br />I think people are more aware now about the consequences of our way of life, socially and ecologically. There are those who denounce how the internet has changed the way we think and make it hard to focus on anything for long. But most people don't care enough to actually change their habits.<br /><br />Apparently apathy reins.<br /><br />I've reviewed the movies on my blog.
