One To Many

Categories: Tech

Broadcast television. Radio. A political soapbox stander, screaming about how much she hates whoever is the current President. One entity, broadcasting to many.

That's the old model, the old way media used to work. One monolith vibrating so that many apes could dance to it.

The term is a Thing because technology changed, well, pretty much everything. The internet is a many-to-many thing: like email. It can be one to many. It can be many to many, replying-all all over the place. Twitter is a combo thing; so is Facebook, and pretty much every social network.

Weird and wired. Don't get this mixed up with idiots running for President, which is One Too Many.
