The title says it all, the article says it better. I have new insight into who Mark Zuckerberg is, which was falsely portrayed by The Social Network, and how his quirky thought process, is much like most science minded individuals, who don't always see things like the majority of people. I deal with this a lot at the Museum.
But this quote from the article stuck out and I wanted to share it:
"However much more authentic the selves we present on Facebook are than they were in the anonymous Internet wilderness that came before it, they still fall far short of our true selves, and confusing our Facebook profiles with who we really are would be a terrible mistake. We are running our social lives over the Internet, an infrastructure that was not designed for that purpose, and we must be aware of the distortions it creates or we will be distorted by them." ~Lev Grossman
