Here is a fascinating long read about Instagram and the 'infinite scroll', that could be useful for the Media unit (new media).

The article focuses on a number of areas including subcultures and how they develop and evolve over the Internet and the influence of social media on our lives, with some good links to psychology too in terms of the effects on mental health.
