cbudHOW THE INTERNET TURNED INWARDS
Manuel Cebrian
A #social network scientist's insights into our move toward #identity consumption rather than collaboration on the Internet.
"People’s tendency to look inwards — seek mirrors through which to see themselves — consume content that makes them feel better about themselves and feels like they belong to a community — which actually does not exist, as a community cannot exist without an agreed mission."
"One can guess at a tenuous link between the current #nationalistic, anti-globalization trend and #technologies that emphasize people’s differences to make them salient."
