Eras Defined by Media
We define eras by the media of the time
Whatever was prevalent is what is remembered
Cave paintings, mosaics, bones
The snippets of music and writing
Art and sculpture
Even some photographs
Other artifacts
Those are all we ever have
To glean what it was like to live
Way back when
No matter how far
We actually take the way-back machine
What we have now
Defines our era
We look around and see media
All around us
Records and books
Photos and recordings
Digital storage devices
Newsreels and sheet music
Social networks and television
Blogs and v-logs
What will Your slice of media
Tell the people of tomorrow
About you?

I actually wrote this before the Occupy Movements got rolling. Hell, I wrote this before I even knew that the Occupy Movements existed.
We see now how the media of today and the social media networking is replacing the Main Stream Media (MSM) and their propaganda machine for getting the messages of what is happening NOW out to the masses. Word of mouth moves as fast as people can click a link, now.
Poor outmoded MSM.
Their media blackouts just aren't working like they used to.
