社交媒体的问题是永不结束。它只让你看最新的东西，就像在轮子上奔跑的仓鼠一样，我们生活在消耗短暂内容的无限循环中，结果我们失去了历史感。

互联网时代的信息质量，呈现两极化。信息的平均质量变得越来越差，但是你能从网上找到的最有用信息，质量正越来越好。 这就好比一个商品极大丰富的市场，对普通消费者是不利的，因为他不知道怎么选择琳琅满目的商品；但对高水平消费者非常有利，因为他能找到最满足自己需要的商品。

技术正在发展一定程度的自治，它好像正在以某种方式利用人类来创造它自己。 -- Paul Kingsnorth

Future media and technologies – including what happens when virtual reality and augmented reality, for example, are combined with accelerated computational power – could amplify this angelic tendency, says Miroshnichenko, and bring about a new kind of “augmented humanity”. “Now we are about to totally live inside our latest medium. Almost all our activities are already there. Humankind is resettling from biological bodies into the digital body.”How, ultimately, media and technology affect us all – and the degree to which human nature is remoulded and redefined by our ‘tools’ – is open to debate. And that’s McLuhan’s point: “The central purpose of all my work is to convey this message,” he told Playboy magazine. “That by understanding media as they extend man, we gain a measure of control over them.”

“Electronic media cancelled the physical time and space limitation for humans to be present at events. Digital media advanced this new quality of human beings even more, they make time elastic, which is impossible in physical reality. In video games, a player can slow down, stop, reverse, repeat time. Resurrection becomes everyday routine for video game players, who save and restart their digital selves, and for social media users, who can delete and restore their profiles.”
