"I think the more interesting phenomenon is how we have allowed our technology to define us in the most tribal of ways. The difference between the percentage of dropped calls among the major US carriers is statistically negligible, yet we have Verizon people who don't just hate AT&T, but sneer at those who disagree. We have iPhone and Android fans at each others' throats over how much better their handheld-internet devices are. Customers are empowered to strike a blow against the monoliths they once had no hope to sway, even if only 8 people see it. What concerns me is how much these two trends (the Empowerment and the Tribalism) will mesh. In other words ---- will we have people out publicly flogging companies, not just for the personal satisfaction brought by venting, but because they want to "fit in" with others who are griping?"
