The Internet Is People

peopleThere's always been a tension on the Internet between humans and algorithms. In the early days, Yahoo was a human-curated index, remember? But humans couldn't keep up, and the algorithms took over. Today, the human factor is rising in importance once again with Facebook, Twitter, and countless mobile applications like Instagram. Everything is social. The tension today is between social and search?humans versus computers. Except that it isn't so simple. The Internet is not just billions of linked pages, databases, and (increasingly) mobile apps. The Internet is people. It's you and me.
