Summary | Smartphones have revolutionized social life. They promise us that we will never be alone again if we stay online. We are always connected wia social media, we can communicate with select people directly by speaking, texting them, or sending them images and video. While we are all digitally connected, we become more isolated face-to-face. On the street, nobody interacts anymore. Smartphones have also begun to be our matchmakers thanks to Tinder and seemingly intuitive swiping which is rather learned in reality.

Summary | Selfies on social media can have huge currency. They serve celebrities and politicians to style themselves as down-to-earth. Taylor Swift further includes cats in her selfies for the additional cuteness factor. Angela Merkel's selfie with a refugee has served to send the message that refugees are welcome in Germany. Selfies can also be seen as inspired by emojis; people mimick the facial expressions or use a Snapchat filter to emulate emojis.
