Why Social Media Should Not Be Defined

The older I get the more I realise that Milton Glaser is correct

He says that you cannot define art....only the interpretations of art. If you define art then you restrict it...because a definition creates boundaries which can only hinder its growth.

That is so true - and not just for art.

I keep thinking how true this is when it comes to social media....you cannot define it, just your interpretation of it....

• If you define social media then you restrict it.
• If you define it then you stop people from interpreting it in a creative way.
• If you define it you restrict yourself.

Social media is not about what it is...it is about what it could be.

Social media is less about facts and more about meaning.

Social media may not want to be defined but it is crying out for you to interpret it and let it grow.
