facebook – Three Percent /College/translation/threepercent a resource for international literature at the University of Rochester Mon, 16 Apr 2018 17:30:03 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 Gunter Grass Rails on Facebook /College/translation/threepercent/2013/09/04/gunter-grass-rails-on-facebook/ /College/translation/threepercent/2013/09/04/gunter-grass-rails-on-facebook/#respond Wed, 04 Sep 2013 18:30:00 +0000 http://www.wdev.rochester.edu/College/translation/threepercent-dev/2013/09/04/gunter-grass-rails-on-facebook/ This video of Gunter Grass talking about how “Facebook is shit” is amazing. Granted, it’s weird that I found out about this from a friend who found it on Facebook and that I’m probably going to share it on Facebook as well . . .

But, I do totally agree with his sentiments and wish I could smash my iEverything and live in a farmhouse like that researching information in actual books.

The think Grass seems to not get though is that today’s cultural world isn’t really about quality, it’s about quick production and being a good enough operator to leverage social media in order to shift units. (I just punched myself in the face for writing that.)
