A documentary film by tinro|media works
Welcome to Cyber Sapiens - a documentary film about social networking in the digital age. Social behavior is as primal as human kind, and social media is as ancient as the first cave paintings dating back some 32,000 years. Today’s blogs, vlogs, podcasts, SMSs and micro-blogs are the contemporary, technologically hyper-ed, digitally induced version of those first communicative accounts from the dawn of civilization. The film explores themes of human connectivity and social networking in the Internet age and looks at how recent social media phenomena and social networking trends have been reshaping our culture, life and language. Production Trailer, work-in-progress by tinro|media works. Additional excerpts can be viewed on the film's profile site on MySpace and on YouTube.
