Hi,
Having a skim read through the course reader, the Debord piece entitled 'Perspectives for the Conscious Changes in Everyday Life' is a relevant piece. Debord critiques the banal realities of the everyday as a repressive capitalist force inscribed to keep the masses occupied and ignorant of their personal political power. Debord sites society as 'the realm of separation and spectacle'. I thought of social media and the popular selfies movement for this discussion.
I was also thinking of Elettra and the decentralization theme when Debord talks about technology that are popular are geared in becoming widely favored as becoming a means to repress and control social classes.
Def check it out, its available freely on the web: http://www.bopsecrets.org/SI/6.everyday.htm
