"Social media is digital narcissism"

“Social media is digital narcissism. Technology is changing human behaviour, it’s changing in a way in which we´re using it to promote ourselves. From our photographs to our taste, to what we’re playing on Spotify or Soundcloud. Why are we giving away so much of our information, so much of our intimate information: our reading habits our television habits, our listening habits, our political views? So that Facebook can be valued at 80 billion dollars, even though they’re not paying us for that information?"

Sobre o elevador social

"We lived today in a bogus meritocracy.Our society proclaims itself democratic and a place where anyone can rise to fame and wealth. But social mobility has declined. Modern market democracies are webs of special connections, riven with unfairness, hidden conspiracies and family deals. The children of successful lawyers,bankers, journalist and so on tend to rise to the top of the money-making professions, apparently convinced they are there because they're worth it."
