“The Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab creates insight into how computing products–from websites to mobile phone software–can be designed to change what people believe and what they do. For that reason, we’re studying Facebook–it’s highly persuasive.” http://credibilityserver.stanford.edu/captology/facebook [65]

Remember Matrix II?

“The new philosophy of human interrelations, sociometry, gives us a methodology and guide for determination of the central structure of society through the evocation of spontaneity of the human subject-agents. These factors, once located and diagrammed, supply us with the basis upon which the planning of all the many facets and activities of society may be undertaken–from juvenile and adult education to super-governments and world states.”

And, “The task of the social scientist is to invent the adequate tools for the exploration of a chosen domain. On the level of human interrelationships , this domain is made up of the interactive spontaneities of all the individuals composing it. Therefore, the task of the social scientist becomes the shaping of the tools in the fashion as to enable him to arouse the individual to the required point of spontaneity on a scale which runs all the way to the maximum. But individuals cannot be aroused–or only to an insignificant degree–by undynamic or automatic means. The individuals must be adequately motivated so that the full strength of their spontaneous responses is evoked. Thus, the intention and shaping of methods for social investigation and the stirring up of reactions, thoughts and feelings of the people on whom they are used must go hand in hand.” “Sociometric View of the Community,” J.L. Moreno. Moreno is known as a pioneer in “psychodrama,” and developed sociometry.
