A Friend is Writing by Calum Copley

Highlights & Thoughts

• Information overload; I feel anxious watching this, I can’t keep up until I realized that the notificatons wouldnt disapear.
• In the realm of person-to-person interaction, however, the rules appear to change. Boredom is often replaced by anticipation.
• Both social and news media seek to appeal to and produce a sense that something important is just about to happen. (I agree!!!!)
• By exploiting anticipation and appealing to a sense of futurity, both intend to capture their audience for as long as possible.
• 'If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold'. (errie fact? Almost feel disposable)
