Summary | Many companies now take advantage of the huge amounts of data that we create on a daily basis by being online and carrying a smartphone on us at all times. Facebook tracks all our movements online even when we are not signed up. Our smartphone collects data about our whereabouts. Companies can buy this data to target us with specific advertising or to enhance their hiring process to include data from our social media activity. This way they can conduct analysis about how valuable each applicant would be to the company.

Summary | The video entertainment company Mitù which is geared towards authentic representation of latinos and latinas on various social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and now Snapchat. They have seen some growth since beginning to broadcast on Snapchat. They also noticed that they can build more intimacy with the viewers by not filming in a horizontal format since most their viewers watch their videos from a smartphone and a horizontal video layout creates a distance.

Schreiben statt streicheln: Die neue kalte Liebesordnung
(Writing instead of stroking: The new cold order of love)

Summary | Youth nowadays do not get to know their love interests face-to-face but rather through digital channels. A typical digital encounter would be a Facebook friend request, message exchanges and possibly the exchange of seductive images. Now intimacy means something different; people open up to each other in letter form rather than with actual physical contact. Cultural pessimists fear that while it is convenient that all of our interactions can be done online, this convenience may turn into a huge problem because people could virtually stay at home all the time and become lonely.
