Global Closed Circuit: The Earth as Software

While I agree with Youngblood's assertion that television is the software of the Earth. I find the statement to be a bit dated now and find that the internet is the upgrade to this software. It has become much easier to track the social and psychological conditions of people, and therefore the environment, through social media and blogs. Thanks to the end user agreements, it is also possible to track the locations of specific social trends and such with the use of servers. The internet has essentially given us a higher resolution model of the human race which can almost be broken down to the separate individual. I say almost as there are still those without a social media profile or still refuse to use the internet.
