It is different.
Also hugely different is, now the newspaper knows what everybody is reading. What a surprise to some of them... Every website owner out there knows what headlines we are clicking on. Every writer knows which articles got them readers. Every person knows what got them likes, retweets, favorites. |

It occurs to me that, in certain public arenas, the study of why humans behave in certain ways may be replaced in necessary practice by the certainty that we simply know exactly how they behave, devoid of any need for, or even desire for having an explanation. This would dovetail with the rise of atheism--we'd simultaneously disbelieve any larger force is at play in the universe, AND within the individual.
