I think its time we update a few older terms used in modern conversation...
For example, "the people have spoken"...
With the advent of twitter, facebook, snapchat, youtube and the like more and more people interact and connect to each other virtually than in all human history...
The days of "a pat on the back" or a "applause" is coming to an end...
Today we "like an update", "favour a tweet" or "upvote a comment"
So phrases like "the people have spoken" can now be better described as "the net has thumbed it"
