fellow scholars, let's think socially
over the past few platform updates, it appears to my eyes that FB can increasingly be seen to push for "immediacy". they seem to want to make the history of one's activity on FB increasingly obscure. i can only hypothesize that such is the monetization of FB -- in twenty years, people will have to purchase their photo albums and diary-like conversations from the FB company in neatly-packaged and reasonably-priced retail packages. all of that free content provided by users will be sold back to them as the nostalgia they so desperately need.
i'm thinking about time, money as the guardian of "en recherche du temps perdu", and the digital network
am i just mad because i can't find my links, or is there something about how Facebook is monetizing our identity that needs to be critically vocalized?
