Quasar with Fries EP13: Tech Culture - Fanboys, Critics and Snobs
from Quasar with Fries · host Quasar with Fries
In this episode of Quasar With Fries, Rich and Wayne discuss the crumbling of the very foundations of our society. Not really. No, what they really discuss is how oddly personal certain tech enthusiast communities take the announcement of new products and the opinions surrounding those products held by others. And we’re not just talking about the Apple vs. Android or Nikon vs. Canon wars. There’s a lot of discord and schism within individual communities as well. Take for instance, the introduction of Sony’s latest flagship camera, the A1 II. Rather than being a day that excited fans of Sony’s Alpha camera platform, it largely tore the community into two bickering factions. Why does that happen? What should we do in response? Get into it.00:00:00 Welcome to Quasar with Fries Episode 13!00:02:18 Rude fanboys, geeks and critics00:04:15 The Sony Alpha group is a tough crowd00:06:55 Who is the smartest of the smart people00:13:38 Bring value to the conversation00:16:35 Logic Pro Facebook Groups00:19:05 How to be polite00:25:27 Clash of the ideologies00:29:48 What do the kids think00:33:04 LinkedIn is the new Facebook00:37:45 Wrap up!#socialmedia #trolls #sociology #technology #facebook #linkedin
