Welcome to Motherboard

Collapse

Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

Ahh. Perhaps this is the future of dead social networking websites — not as tools for the present but museums of our past selves. That is, carefully curated museums of the selves we wished we were.

Wait, isn’t that how we always used them?

Bonus: friendster as the successor to something called “aol.”
