[Dialogue] What the heck did we mean with "Contentless"??

[Bud Tillinghast]

It's not as humorous as the toilet training bit. But the Economist has published an article on Luther and the Reformation and the role that 'social media played, saying the Luther went 'viral'. Interesting parallels.

"Now the internet offers a new perspective on this long-running debate, namely that the important factor was not the printing press itself (which had been around since the 1450s), but the wider system of media sharing along social networks—what is called “social media” today. Luther, like the Arab revolutionaries, grasped the dynamics of this new media environment very quickly, and saw how it could spread his message."
