"When the internet emerged, it was text-centred, it was a decentralised space, it was a very active sort of communication in that it wasn't as passive as television. It was also very non-linear because you would always be able to browse things and at the same time and hyperlinks were at the centre of this shift because they enabled you to start from somewhere and end up from somewhere completely different from where you started. And this is all gone now. You only get to see one mobile app -- like Facebook -- and then you would only scroll. You don't click that much on the links and you're not going to surprising places anymore.'"

"So this new space, which is built based on your habits, and based on popularity of things -- because if you post something and it's not popular enough it wouldn't be visible to your friends -- is creating a space which is, I would argue, even worse than television."
