Sofortgeist of the inet era
January 20th 2008 12:34
Zeitgeist is a german word meaning the spirit of the people, i.e., the main ideas that a people - in a certain period of time - follow.
In this internet era, with all it's speed in creating - and destroying - waves, maybe a sofortgeist would be more appropriate. The spirit of an instant, of the immediate. Of course this can be inserted in the Zeitgeist that would have to be way broader to be able to define the spirit of a time..
If you see someone using this term somewhere else, please let me know...it would make me feel less alone...hehe
And now we go enjoy the latest star of youtube. For 3 minutes, before it becomes old.
cheers.
