What social changes are brought by mobile device?
1. The rise of a new religion that I call smart sayings fetishism. People share all kinds of smart sayings, tips etc. As a result, no one will read anything profound, like philosophy and classics.
2. Instant gratification culture. You hold your cell phone all the time, even maybe you are making love, taking pics of your naked bodies and waiting to respond to next message.  )
3. Photos become valueless as historical artifacts, because they are so many and so easy to take.
4. Photos kill our linguistic competence. A pictures speaks better than a thousand words, as a result, our language becomes barren. No one will study rhetoric anymore. Aristotle is dead. Love letters are replaced by nude pics.
5. We do not value commitment anymore. We can change anytime and just text those involved and do not feel guilty.
