Summary | In his new book called "Facebook generation", Roberto Simanowski positions himself between the cultural pessimists and the digital euphorics. He does fear for our language competence and tied to it our memory. We tend to posts selfies and emojis rather than put our feelings into words. We tend to post a link to a song, a video, or an article rather than paraphrase that information make our point in an original sentence. This leads to the degeneration of our language ability and that inability to process information in our own words prevents the creation of memories. Instead we leave a huge digital data trail online.

Die unsympathische Trauer-Pop-Kultur in den sozialen Medien
(The uncongeneal pop culture of grieving on social media)

Summary | Social media has led to a distasteful culture of showcased grieving on social media. Facebook is quick to prepare an "in safety" option so that people close to the site of a tragedy can mark themselves as survivors. Within minutes, artwork related to the particular even is circulating on the internet and people change it to their profile images. All of this does not help the victims so it is just a staged display of emotions for appearing considerate.
