The brilliant minds leading the latest “new media” revolution successfully displaced the antiquated, stodgy “old media” dystopia. They swooped in riding their midnight blue Tesla S’s straight down Stanford ave. and into your smart phone.

Never again will we have to stare transfixed at unwanted advertising or sponsored media. We are living in a new era. The brilliant minds at the new media powerhouses like Twitter, Facebook, Vine, Pinterest, Snapchat, Instagram and dozens of others have a collective genius that is staggering to behold.

Collectively they will certainly create a brave new world out of this chaotic revolution. A fantastic power to the people, new media is king old media is dead utopia. They have received billions of dollars in investments from some truly smart people.

They have a brilliant new business model to run on their brilliant new networks.

It’s called advertising.

Selling your eyeballs to the highest bidder.

Apparently all the brilliant young 20-something minds at these new media companies are exactly the same as the previous brilliant old 40-something minds at the companies they replaced.

Nothing new under the sun? or All is fair in the war of pursuit of shareholder value?
