The Social Dilemma (must read)

 

The social Dilemma is a 1hr 34min documentary on Netflix. This documentary explores the impact of social networking on humans. With tech experts sounding the alarm on their own creation.

Thought proving, disturbing and ultimately a call to action the social dilemma and the groups behind it expose the turning point in our interaction with technology , which we are not at all naïve of.

The social dilemma is a documentary you’ll watch and immediately would want to toss your phone in the garbage can and then toss a garbage can through a window at face book.

It’s an eye opening look into the way social media is design to create addiction and address our behavior. It also provide a detail view on other problems including fake news, election security concerns , polarization and many more.

 “Fake news spread six time faster than true news “ said one of the expert.

Tim Kendall , a former president of pinterest admits that years ago “I couldn’t get of my phone  despite having 2 kids”. “I was addicted and couldn’t help myself”.

 “Social media is a drug” said another.

 “What I want people to know is  what they are doing online is being watched, is being tracked every single action you take is carefully monitored” said by other.

These words surprised me the most“The people controlling the social media know your personality ,they know your interests they even know whether you are an introvert or extrovert”.

 “Social media starts to dig deeper and deeper down into the brain stem and take over kid’s sense of self worth and identity” said another explaining the disadvantages.

I highly recommend everyone to watch this documentary and show it to your kids too inorder to spread awareness.
