I was hoping you'd contrast the world-changing device as seen in ads and how it changed the world in reality, which is what the author did but you put in a nice tag line. Maybe the Internet (from its invention up to a certain point) made thr world a better place, but "Web 2.0" certainly made it a worse planet: like the author wrote; genocide, mass surveillance, the constant expression of rage made worse by anonimity and mob-building (140 characters at a time, excuse me, 280 characters at a time...).

Now I want to do a mock phone ad with all the images of these atrocities and end it with a shot of a shiny phone and the tag line "We make world-changing devices. - Silicon Valley".

There is always a real reason for the rage and immediate communication just exposed it. Building mobs worked before too, it just got cheaper and harder to control by silencing or bribibg mob leaders. Buying out a newspaper or TV or radio station.

Most people never had an outlet for it before not knew about the atrocities done on the world. Or had a comparison to people living in other countries.

Ignorance is bliss, literally. Even when you live in a nasty and deadly neighborhood.

The only thing to avoid is fake outrage and manipulation.
