Summary | Facebook is already huge: more than three times as many messages are transmitted over Facebook Messenger than SMS messages at its peak. But Facebook is also hugely significant as a video platform and they are investing much of their resources in developing virtual reality. Apparently, Zuckerberg believes that VR is the next big platform after the smartphone. They are even working with anthropologists to make the body language VR avatars more realistic.

Summary | The idea of dissociative personality (or multiple personality) has been exploited in various novels, comics and movies (e.g. Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, Hulk, The Mask, Mrs. Doubtfire). With the advance of virtual reality, the issue of dissociative personality will be more and more apparent, especially with social networks. The version of ourselves that we display online is a better version of ourselves. Our online clones represent what we would like to be.
