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.

π¦ Twitter at 15 β No Match for Facebook at the Same Age
"Just setting up my twttr" β those were the words that #JackDorsey, founder and CEO of #Twitter, tweeted on March 21, 2006, fifteen years ago β 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.

π Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day!
On May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas. At the time, it cost about Β£10. Today? About Β£250 million.
To celebrate how far Bitcoin has come β and commemorate historyβs most expensive pizzas β letβs 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 thatβs 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.

π€ Social Media: What/Who is the Problem?
Intersection 1 β 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, thereβs another argument against that, which can be pretty difficult to ignore: what if the problem isnβt 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.

π½ You are what you eat
Intersection 2 β the intersection of food, information, and diet: optimising your input.
βYou are what you eat.β
Have you heard that before? Itβs very true β literally. We donβt normally (and actively) think about it, but what we eat actually gets incorporated into our bodies.
You can apply the same thinking to your information diet. Youβre not just what you eat, but youβre what you consume: all the data, information, wisdom, and experiences you have shapes your understanding of the world as well as the effects they have on your health β both physical and mental.
Here, I wrote about the importance and the effects of your information diet: https://perspectiveix.substack.com/p/information-diet

Social Platforms: they all look the same now
The fact that all #SocialMedia platforms are starting to look the same points at the idea of some platforms are just features unless they evolve.
For example, #Snapchat had to evolve from being a platform for βStoriesβ to a camera/AR platform, otherwise, it had no chance against #Facebook & #Instagram Stories attack.
Now, #Clubhouse has the same problem. It has turned into a feature that other platforms are just adding to their products β yes, you can call it copying too.

π Where E-Commerce is Growing Fastest
China is by far the biggest e-commerce market in the world as seen in figures from the Statista Digital Market Outlook. Last year, e-commerce sales in the country stood at $1.3 trillion and that number is projected to increase to almost $2 trillion by 2025. This would mean that in 4 years, almost every second e-commerce dollar could be spent in China.
Revenues generated in China make up the majority of the Asian market. Yet, other markets on the continent are already growing at a faster rate than the Chinese market. Chinese growth remains above the world average, however.
In Europe and the U.S., e-commerce is expected to grow by 35 percent to 42 percent in five years, below the world average of 47 percent.
