@Dylan, “Katharina Blum” is nearly 40 years old – an odd pick to illustrate the case.

You should contrast the use of high tech between the two campaigns: read up on the Republican/Romney Get Out The Vote effort, operation Orca. It was an utter and complete failure for technology and design issues.

Two campaigns in a row now, the Democrats have run rings around the Republicans when it comes to computer/Internet related tech. I think there is reason — few truly competent information workers and computer scientists are willing to work for the science denying party.

While politics was not the main focus of this piece, it’s inclusion made me think about how the tools that were described are actually used. While there is no question that the potential to enhance communication and connectivity is enormous, we have learned to use these tools to distort and misinform. The ruthless execution of a winning campaign strategy is admired for its tactical brilliance with the understanding that truth would be a hindrance when trying to eviscerate your opponent. We have come to learn that there is no reliable source of unbiased information (we miss you Tim Russert), so we pick sides early on and subscribe to those “information” outlets that support our view. The vehemence of these sources just serves to enhance our own and steadily move us away from any reasonable middle toward the polar extremes of our party or school of thought. With the advent of social media and all it’s handmaidens, the promise was a more connected society. Sadly, it seems we are more divided than ever.

Thanks for this, Prof. Filloux. It is so spot on. (But is that Comic Sans you are using in your illustration?!)

This article is so pitch perfect it isn’t even funny. I think that Bloomberg faces significant competition in this space from the print Financial Times in Europe. For anyone curious about the high pressure nature of the German tabloid press, there’s a great novel/film about it called The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum.
