Фрагмент из книги.
The digital age is one of instant gratifi cation. The situation may be familiar to you: you’re having co ee or dinner with some friends when somebody asks a general knowledge question. Nobody knows the answer but at least one person gets their smartphone out ready to fi nd it. Where do we go for that info? Chances are it will be a random Google search or a check on Wikipedia. Triumphantly, they provide you with the answer. It’s information which you don’t argue with and then instantly forget – it’s ephemeral.
Projecting an online identity.
There are more than 2 billion users of social media in the world. When you check out the online profiles of these people, the first thing you see is their profile picture and cover photo. It gives you a first, albeit superficial, impression of their identity or how they choose to project it online.
Extroverts and narcissists are easy to spot - they are always gazing directly at the camera or doing something daring like parachuting or bungee-jumping. They are inclined to smile and look confident. These are the kinds of people who post a lot of images of themselves and expect lots of ‘likes’ when they do!
Introverts, on the other hand, have a tendency to look away from the camera in their profile pics. They may post another kind of image altogether - perhaps a landscape or something that conjures up a particular mood, or their pet. This distracts the attention away from them and onto something that they like.
