Not to forget the tabloid sensational press. But don't go that far we are doxies in our daily habits and practices. For example a thread's life cycle depends on the number of replies and viewers ie audience ratings. A reply can be one word or an icon or a text of varied length and quality. This is not only democracy but Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Finally we are doxies because of a variety of reasons:
1.we can be fooled easily.
2. We are victims of our own eyes.
3. We are in need of dreams and hopes.
4. Measure for Measure: The age of benchmarking, appraisals, ratings and balanced scorecards has already set in.
