You don’t have to be a tech nerd or geek out about the latest piece of technology to understand there's a shift in the world of how we interact with the internet.

There’s an inescapable sense that the recent coverage of Kanye West either dismisses or ignores the context of his bipolar mental illness diagnosis, missing a big piece of the story.
