Excellent, a real-life Skinner Box
Instead of rodents, they’re using journalists – and instead of a Skinner Box they’ll be locked inside a French farmhouse in Perigord for five days and only allowed to access Twitter and Facebook.
The experiment – run by RFP the French-language public broadcasters association – will discover how warped our perception of the world could become if we rely solely on Twitter and Facebook.
Like anyone would do that!
The journalists will continue to report the news as they see it – coming solely through tweets, hashtags, status updates, messages and – gulp – contextual advertising.
