Our Symbolic Universe.
Before 15 years ago social communication was still rather primitive. To connect with friends and family was delayed and lagged. Talking was confined to either face to face or a home land line. With the creation of mobile phones and texting the speed of knowledge quickened. With the ability to contact anybody at any given time was paramount to the social evolution of human beings. These mini computers that we take for granted are of huge importance and without them society would be lost. They have created our own symbolic universe.
Social networking sites have even further developed the way we live our lives. People born from this day will have facebook ingrained into their make-up. Our future has been defined by these websites, people have the power to share whatever they want about themselves enabling social interaction to gain a new level entirely.
Historically symbolic universes promoted a certain group, country or society by their ability to produce resources and provide progress. Mobile phones and social networking websites have united cultures and helped our world grow. Our social reality in this point in time is socially constructed.
