Postscript: The New Branded Self: Why the 2030s Will Be the “Decade of Digital Cool”
摘要
At the time this book was written, the 2030s will begin in approximately five years. It is possible that the struggles, joys, sadness, and lessons that we acquired during the Decade of Fire faced the same level of digital amnesia as other aspects of online culture over the past ten years. Reflecting on how digital culture has been defined in the platform era also means considering what will happen when we move beyond the need for platforms to manage our online interactions and presence. We can find it hard to think that far out, whether it is five, 15, or 30 years into the future. One reason is that we do not know what will be dramatically different and what will hold deep as not being disturbed or changed as part of the social makeup.
