🌐 Internet is just a fad — Daily Mail (5th December 2000)

and then
#Email is just a fad...
#Facebook is just a fad...
#Instagram is just a fad...

Is #Clubhouse another fad?

👀 Two by Two
How tech is battling for our attention

In a post on his website, Scott Galloway talks about how tech is battling for our attention. From fitness to dating to news to travel to investing to cooking, every slice of our day is a battleground among tech players for our monetize-able attention.

Two factors drive strategy in this battle:
1. the value of the attention that firms command, and
2. the means to monetise that attention.

Hence, a 2x2 matrix.

🐦 Twitter at 15 – No Match for Facebook at the Same Age

"Just setting up my twttr" – those were the words that #JackDorsey, founder and CEO of #Twitter, tweeted on March 21, 2006, fifteen years ago — yesterday. Twitter, with its simplicity and unique 140-character limit (which has since been doubled), hit a nerve and quickly gained a following among the tech- and media-savvy. In 2011, Twitter passed the 100-million user milestone and in late 2013 the company went public to huge fanfare.

🍕 Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!

On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. At the time, it cost about £10. Today? About £250 million.

To celebrate how far Bitcoin has come — and commemorate history’s most expensive pizzas — let’s take a look at 4 things 10,000 BTC could buy in 2021.

- 28 million large cheese pizzas
- 165,000 moped scooters (for local delivery)
- 3 commercial airplanes (for coast-to-coast delivery)
- 14 billion after-dinner mints

If that’s how much #Bitcoin has changed since 2010, just think how different things could look in the next 11 years. Hopefully pizza still tastes the same.

🤔 Social Media: What/Who is the Problem?
Intersection 1 — the intersection of social media & [mental] health

There is a widespread belief that #SocialMedia is unhealthy and can have adverse side effects on our mental health, which I totally understand and sometimes agree with.

However, there’s another argument against that, which can be pretty difficult to ignore: what if the problem isn’t social media? What if we are the problem, and social media is merely a tool or a reflection of our reality?

Here, I wrote about both sides of the argument: https://perspectiveix.substack.com/p/social-media-mental-health
Let me know what you think please.
