"[...] avant, nous nous comparions à nos voisins/proches/amis; maintenant, nous nous confrontons à nos alter égo [d'écrans]. Pour la classe moyenne, ce changement entraîna un incroyable sentiment de régression sociale tant le monde audiovisuel offrait de ce milieu sociologique une images déformée : vastes lofts, gigantesques maisons en banlieue, voitureS spacieuseS pour Mme/M., vêtements resto chics..."

> They do blink tests on kids, for example. They develop ads, and then see how frequently a kid blinks or turns their eyes away. And when they see the kid blinking more, they change the ad to make it more mesmerizing...

> A policy that could lead to an increase in productivity of 25 percent, overnight, is impossibly great. Even if workers were putting in nine-hour days and maintaining the same level of output it would imply an extraordinary 11.1 percent increase in productivity. That would be a really huge deal, as would an increase in productivity of even half this size... #JulietSchor, is the lead researcher on this project. They are in fact making an effort to measure productivity, or at least revenue..
