What does a million sound like?

Buzz. Facebook. Twitter. And a bucket load of socials you’ll never use because you’ll never hear of them. Every one carries the same banner: social engagement. A way for us to relate. A noise that has a different tone to that of the edicts fed to the masses by traditional media.
