We are not making the difference among cultural and technical determinism. Hence, we are buying mere narcissistic inventions as progress. It could be simply that Humanity needs a bit more experience handling IT. If I could change something, I would turn every Snapchat addict into a Wikipedia editor and would put Twitter to work like Reddit.

This is also a sign for a tech bubble; as long as startups keep creating no value beyond aesthetics.

I recommend you read "You Are Not A Gadget" by Jaron Lanier ;)

I agree. A lot of me-too companies made by me-too entrepreneurs. If this was rock n roll, a lot of these people would never sell more than a few records. People respond extremely well to authenticity and originality, not so much pretense (which can work for only so long).

Got a copy from my library, thanks for the tip. :)
