  • Summary

    Promises of technological progress have always intrigued humankind. Throughout history, people have imagined what they could accomplish with stronger tools, faster machines and more advanced technologies. Such hopes about technological transformations continue to shape most domains of life, from economies and production over social relations to politics and knowledge. The hopes associated with contemporary digital transformations are no exception. The internet and mobile technologies make it easier than ever to find information and communicate. Big data gives us direct, precise insights into all aspects of human life. Right around the corner, artificial intelligence may lead to faster and smarter decision-making. While we often experience that the reality of such developments is more complicated, most technological revolutions are welcomed with the same kind of enthusiasm (Marvin, 1988).

    Created in a dorm room at Harvard University, Facebook was a simple website set up to compare two pictures of female students at a time, inviting fellow students to mark them as hot or not. Since then, the scope and ambitions of Facebook have expanded considerably. Here is what Mark Zuckerberg said about the role of Facebook at a meeting on the financial results of the company ten years later: “Next, let’s talk about understanding the world. What I mean by this is that every day, people post billions of pieces of content and connections into the graph and in doing this, they’re helping to build the clearest model of everything there is to know in the world” (Facebook, 2013, italics added).
