I thought the book Tribes was quite interesting. One interesting thing i found, was that humans have the instinct to want to belong. One cool example i found in the book was the Grateful Dead. They did not succeed by selling alot of albums, they just lead a group of people around. Being in a tribe and being accepted makes us see how we see ourselves. A tribe used to include geography. You used to have to be in a certain place to be with a certain group. Now, you don't have to be in a certain place. The internet helps us connect with eachother all around the world. One good example of this is Facebook. You can have groups with leaders, which people from all around the world can follow. Another good example is Twitter. You have people following you and you can follow other people. Hopefully, there will be more interesting things to come!
