Now that I have your attention…
Word of Mouth has been the primary cause of sales of product and services, for at least for as long as I’ve seen it in action, which is something on the order of just under 8,000 years of human history, along with a few dozen centuries of “othernesses,” who came along just before homo sap took over the planet…temporarily, according to the predictions of some of my “not from around here” friends. Men in Black had it almost right, but the alien plot is even more dastardly and fiendish than anyone thought possible. I’ll explain…
See, it used to be that you met people at the open market in the town square, or at church socials or weddings, funerals and other family events, at company picnics, all sorts of outdoor activities and indoor social events, but no longer.
Even when people are actually in the same room together, they’re looking down at their little mobile devices, texting madly as they speak. The real sinister part of this alien plot is that not only does nobody care, they’re happy to be hooked up in the social network, the only cattle-path left open to them, leading to a soft spot where they can huddle up in a giant warm electrically enticing mob of flesh, hiding under a nice tall oak tree, that makes such a wonderful conductor during those hellish lightning storms with a thousand strikes.
This is the future, and welcome to it:
