I am forever fascinated by social media, technology, and pop culture’s ability to change society and the way we live. It seems as though Kimye has managed to change geography and its connotations for the next generation – a subject that’s seemingly exempt from the influence and knowledge of reality TV stars. By now, their baby and its compass-inspired name have become about as well known as Kanye’s ego, so I thought I’d do some experimenting as to just how much their baby’s name has infiltrated the world.
Above is a screenshot of what happens when you Google Image search “North West“. From now on, whenever your child has to Google the cardinal directions for a geography project, he/she is going to have to weed through the photos of Kim, Kanye, and KNorth. No one is safe.
