Reciprocity, the lifeblood of humanity, is being challenged by many of today's’ technologies. Humans are being conditioned to promote themselves in social media and are obsessed with finding their 15 megs of fame. We clamour to push forward our stories, ideas, content and selfies with the sole purpose of finding others who can give us ‘likes’, while we offer little or nothing in return.
