Force of AI and Social Media

This is an important video to watch. Prof. Tufekci captures the essence of the massive new force being thrust on all of us via social media and tech giants like Facebook and Google. They are creating the data bases for machine intelligence to nurture our worst temptations just like the demons. It is the most significant force of our age which is just now being imposed upon us. We must take time to understand it and learn how to deal with it or our cultural values will continue to degrade to the lowest possible levels.  It is a force devoid of all spirituality. 
It’s not a long video but it will make you think. It is particularly pertenent with the current Facebook controversy under investigation.
