The battle to train a market: Instagram is what Facebook has been telling you guys to do for like a year, okay? - GeekWire
"Instagram’s users have been trained differently. Not only were they trained on a completely different technology – one where sharing a photo takes essentially the same amount of time as sharing text – but Instagram’s simple photo filters taught them that every photo they take, even on a smartphone, can be breathtaking.
Instagram convinced users that every image from their life – their stupid cat, the boring tree in their backyard, their hopelessly awkward teenage face – could be as visually stunning in reality as in their mind. It’s a positive feedback loop that would arguably work even as a single-player experience.
As a result, Instagram’s 30 million users started thinking about status updates as photos, not text. When they think of something really important that they want to tell their friends, they think about communicating that information as an image."

The master-smartphone dialectic – The New Inquiry
But most corporate employees know that this sort of discourse is meant to separate the lackluster employees from the dedicated ones. They know it is a trap. The employees who effectively manage themselves and deserve eventual promotion are the ones who drive themselves the hardest in the face of such advice. The “balance” rhetoric sets a bar employees know they are supposed to clear to make themselves exceptional. It’s a cloaked motivational tool to discredit the entire notion of work-life balance.
