Lewis Mumford's _Technics and Civilization_ on the camera's influence brought this to mind:
> If #Instagram showed us what a world without art looks like, #TikTok shows us what a world without shame looks like. The old virtues of restraint — prudence, discretion, tact — are gone. There is only one virtue: to be seen.https://www.roughtype.com/?paged=3

> There is no exit from #TikTok’s cinema. One college student I know, having recently downloaded the app, told me that she now finds herself watching TikToks until her iPhone battery dies. She can’t pull her eyes away from the screen, but she is still able to withstand the temptation to recharge her phone while the app’s running. Electrical failure is the last defense against #InfiniteMedia.

The Net is.. an interruption system.. for dividing attention.. the ease with which it can be programmed to send and receive messages.. #EMail.. office workers who use computers.. constantly stop what they’re doing to read and respond to.. e-mails.. glance at their in-box thirty or forty times an hour.. each glance.. a small interruption.. the cognitive cost can be high... frequent interruptions scatter our thoughts, weaken our memory, and make us tense and anxious..
