A superorganism is combined unit of many individual parts. The definition of a superorganism is very vague and can have many different meanings. I believe that there are many superorganisms today. I believe that Facebook is definitely a superorganism because it is composed up of many individual parts; the users of Facebook in this case. These users work as individuals completing their own goals and interests. If you look at Facebook as a whole, the individuals all contribute something to the group; therefore it is a superorganism. This is not a bad thing that Facebook is a superorganism, though. It is in fact a very good thing; it can lead to many good results such as crisis mapping, flash mobs, and other fun and helpful events.
