"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Most likely everyone has heard George Berkeley's famous thought experiment, which has led to at least three centuries of metaphysical ponderings on the nature of perception and observation.
But we want to ask a different question for this episode and swing it to perhaps equally metaphysical levels, although the question might look like a joke at first: "If you haven't posted anything on social media, has it really happened?" A significant part of you will resist and point out that no matter how big a role social media plays in our lives, we will always give precedence to the events offline than whatever reproduction we'll post or see online. But is that really the case? Has almost ubiquitous Wi-Fi not altered everything to a point where we have become too intertwined to tell the difference? And what does that say about media as a whole? Join me and Ben on a thorough discussion on the film "Videodrome", which pointed to a time it wasn't even aware of yet, and on the new media invasion.
