What Is the Digital Fog Machine?

The digital fog machine is all the tools and systems online for sharing and getting information.

It includes social media, news (both mainstream and independent), curated blogs, podcasts, experts, insiders, trusted outsiders, and even your friends - everything that affects your thinking.

You and others around you are a vital part of the digital fog machine because you share the information, which clouds the thinking of others. So while the fog machine is everywhere like an atmosphere you can decide to not be apart of it.

The crank for the digital fog machine is in your hand, and you can turn it off.
