The Social Dilemma
Social media has a grip on society and it’s changing the way we interact with each other and even ourselves. The addiction to using it, getting those likes and views are at a concerning level with dire consequences to our human connections and psyche. This is especially true with teenage girls and young women who are up over 300% in anxiety, depression and suicide rates since the introduction of social media platforms.
Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we are taking a look at a documentary called; “The Social Dilemma” and the effect of social media on the world population and its interactions with one another.
The major player tech giants such as; Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, Google and Twitter have manipulated and worked to rewire the human brain through their data tracking, algorithms, and by giving out gamification dopamine responses to our interactions online.
Of course this doesn’t mean that being online is all bad, but it comes down to being self and socially aware of exactly what it looks like and what we’re all playing a part in.
Are we addicted to these platforms and allowing these tech giants to boldly manipulate us or are we really in control of our actions and reactions.
There comes a point in this Social Dilemma where we have to ask; what’s my level of participation going to be?
