Seinfeld on Facebook - Panopticism



This is actually a scene from the 90s sitcom, Seinfeld regarding the social system of an answering machine, but as the video title suggests, it is uncannily similar to a lot of our user experiences with Facebook. I find the social dynamics of social networking very interesting, and thought it was relevant to post as I covered the relationship between Facebook and Panopticism in a previous post.

It's interesting because we sign up to this sort of social measure, no one forces it upon us but forces around us push us to document our lives and basically open ourselves up as some form of acceptance and confidence gaining exercise.
