We can jump on the bandwagon of likes, or reserve not to show we care. Where the scorners, scammers and stalkers lay wait to take hold of the innocent and fragile, and my pockets will get fatter as more and more will join up, where being fake is accepted.

Corpo esguio e adequação ao movimento, roupa leve e tênis, telefones celulares (inventados para o uso dos nômades que têm que estar "constantemente em contato"), pertences portáteis ou descartáveis - são os principais objetos culturais da era da instantaneidade. Peso e tamanho, e acima de tudo a gordura (literal ou metafórica) acusada da expansão de ambos, compartilham o destino da durabilidade.
