Another mind provoking episode! I had to sit back with this one + check my motives. Last night I saw an IG post about a body wash + lotion + I’ve been trying to find it all day. Why? Because it influenced me. Do I need it? No but because I’m swiping day in + day out, I “feel” like I need it. I definitely think my parents generation saw tv as the idiot box but that’s because they grew up outside, playing + actually interacting with others. We grew up in front of the tv so it’s been easy to switch from one mindless thing (tv) to another (social media). At the end of the day we’re all influenced by something but we should definitely open our eyes to what we’re being programmed by.
Yeah what are we being programmed for?! And while it may be harmless to turn us into consumers it begins to affect us a society when decisions are based solely on profit. I think it is one thing if you are searching out for this info to make a purchase vs. wanting something only after you saw it. That’s what they are banking on.
Refreshing commentary. You definitely make SENSE. I too take a social media hiatus at least 2x yearly. The rabbit holes can be DANGEROUS. Thanks fo lending your voice 💚👍🏾💚
