Somewhat following up on the earlier post -- Surveillance Society

I found this cartoon on the newsletter's site:

I find it interesting when public discourse engages with terms that I think of as existing predominantly in academic circles. I know that theoretical terms do not just appear from nowhere nor would I say that the public is too unsophisticated to make use of theoretically derived terms. It's just fascinating to me to watch the dissemination and evolution of concepts across very disparate social groups.
