Why Use ‘endanger’ When ‘kill’ is More Fun?
By Josef Essberger
LinkedIn makes WIRED’s case
To which I could add: ‘Why use knowledge when Wikipedia is more personal? And why use a book when a funny face is more emotional?’
In fact the LinkedIn clickbait perfectly embodies the point that the Wired article is making. As befits a social media site. How Social Media Endangers Knowledge by Iranian-Canadian media analyst Hossein Derakhshan is well worth reading.
