The fact that technology gurus won't let their own kids use social media is so important. Using smart phones and iPads as "babysitters" is horribly dangerous.
Ashton..so true on so many ways.
Yeah, I know. The ancient baby sitter my mother used was the TV. Hmmm.
@@jjhall1963 remember Howdy Doody? Now THAT was my babysitter. Dont know how I grew up with a brain.
And the fact they admit to Still falling victim to it themselves. I'm 34 and grew up without a cell phone playing outside all day and I can't imagine what it will be like for these kids that have only ever known the internet age.
that was very telling. this film woke me up and reminded me to address the issues I was having with social media. I talk about it in this video in the hopes that it can help someone else maybe: ruclips.net/video/xDuYAPZFsnE/видео.html
I’m to the point where I see social media the exact same as smoking cigarettes. 🚬
I agree, and I'm getting a small backsignal (very small) that more people, more journalists, more academicians and intelligentsia are in basic agreement.
Definitely.
Damn me too! Brb gonna go get a pack real quick 👁👄👁
excellent comment, Tim. I almost never go on social media. BUT I ADMIT that I probably even spend too much time in the comments section of youtube. Some of these comments are great. Articles and documentary news stories like this and on TED TALKS are great. Never go on facebook. I avoid texting like the plague. I usually turn off my cell phone when I drive. I only use my cellphone/android to read email or use as a phone. THATS IT. no youtube ,movies or anything else.
Tim Bitten Very hard to light.
I'm getting addicted to watching media about how not to get addicted to social media🙄😒...
😂😂
It's all part of the algorithm. You are only a fraction of you...you are now under control.
The big problem that they were concerned about in the video was how their clever marketing algorithm causes young people to be in a "spell" of depression, lethargy, and stress. Then, as a result of this algorithm, young people need the dopamine hit that social media gives them, making them addicts, and easy prey to people pushing their views on them. Yet, as concerned as they said they were about young people, they never mentioned the many studies that have found that the radiation from the cell phone itself causes these exact same problems: depression (low dopamine), lethargy, and stress (high levels of cortisol)-no algorithm needed! So, the radiation itself causes their vulnerability to suggestions. If they were truly concerned about young people's mental health and vulnerability to others' opinions, they would have mentioned this dangerous phenomenon, especially for young people whose brains are still developing, in this video. But they really seemed to think that they controlled these kids.
Seems like you not smart to understand one has nothing to do with the other
lol this film woke me up and reminded me to address the issues I was having with social media. I talk about it in this video in the hopes that it can help someone else maybe: ruclips.net/video/xDuYAPZFsnE/видео.html
A lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots on-- attributed to Mark Twain.
Lies have always been faster than truth, because it’s so easy for US to do. Humanity has been never been very good at admitting to either a lack of knowledge or being wrong. If we could, we would be the better for it. 🙏
Mark Twain was also fiercely against censorship.
This whole thing is a lie to discredit Alex Jones. I can't believe that they won't let him be considering that they already BANNED him from almost all social media... WTF. I guess the problem is that he's RIGHT. You can't have that kind of information existing ANYWHERE!
I marvel at how much time these people have on their hands. I am 70 years old and retired--and I certainly do not have time to respond to FB or to any comment from anywhere. I don't care whether I was tagged or not; I have to empty the litter boxes then go for a run. This social media dependency has responsible for the further deterioration of the nation, even though Capitalism was crumbling, anyway. Good luck to you all our there; break the habit; you will enjoy--and appreciate--life a lot more, I assure you. And aging? Well, it is a wonderful thing: I'd trade loose skin for peace of mind any day! Every day is better!
Well said, and good advice.
Yes, but those of us in our 70's are still coasting along on the prosperity momentum of the US 20th century post WWII boom. That momentum is no longer accessible to many in the next generations, and what little money they actually make above their enormous debts is taxed so we can have our happy retirements.
For me, this is much bigger than any lifestyle comforts I might enjoy. I see the damage the Boomer generation helped to inflict on the environment, the economy, and, through our investments, on the fabric & direction of society, and I find myself increasingly concerned that our end of life prosperity has come at an extremely high price - our country and, possibly, the human future itself.
Even more concerning: too many Americans have what seems to be a "I've got mine, take care and good luck" attitude toward the rest of society. That appears to be the endgame of unregulated capitalism, consumer culture and the perpetual narcissistic self-absorption of The American Way. So, of course some social media programmers try to keep their children away from the harmful platform that they make a nice living producing for the exploitation of other people's children. (Those clean coal advocates sure don't want any of that coal around their kids because they know better than what they are selling.)
So, here we are. Half of us increasingly appalled at our society's shortcomings and the other half doubling down on those shortcomings because they are personally profitable. And, the really sad thing is, even if we have a crisis in conscience and start to rein all of this in, we live in a globalized, interconnected world where others with no integrity either are eager to step into any "market opportunity" that becomes available. This is, therefore, probably not going to end well...
Gotta agree... we ignorantly set so much of this up...dammit! We wasted, wanted, and mindlessly pretty much helped put us in deep sh-!🤔🤭😱😫 NOW we gotta be accountable and at least help as best we can... by being honest, open minded, and willing...
Humanity is a few moves away from checkmate.
Live life with a sense of peaceful urgency, doing what beings joy with as little harm as possible.
The irony is, here you are, commenting on social media. You can't be too busy.
The people who should be watching this are for sure NOT doing so.
I'm watching and I need to be reminded... But I understand what you mean.
Film was a real eye opener: it is a must see especially for parents.
Customize news...
Objective truth...
Truth is not a business model. You're own Truman show...brilliantly said.👏💯
objective truth doesn't exist, everything is a concept of subjectivism
@@deanblunted Only true for stupid people and those who are gullible. For the rest of us, we prefer a gov't run by professionals. Not the ilk of Trump.
@@deanblunted False, there is a fundamental mutual reality. The way we assess if something is true is through consistency. If something works and serves most people then it's a good idea. Therefore, there are opinions that are better than others. Meaning, some opinions are more accurate than others in that they're closer to reality. Hence, not subjective but objectively true.
I feel like this documentary should be required viewing before using any of the applications it discusses. If you haven't seen it please do.
UNPLUG YOURSELF FROM THE MATRIX. that old slogan STILL HAS MEANING.
"The medium is the message" is a great book written decades ago. There's nothing McLuhan did not predict in it.
Only it's "massage." Folks need a re-read.
@@tobiwalker7145 Sorry! I'm not an English speaker and my writing has always been just terrible. Still remember the sheer horror of trying to pass CPE.
Nonetheless, the book is THE book, you're right, I wish more peoole knew it and made it more central to the current discussion on the impact of social media. McLuhan theory is essential to understand the time we live in.
I don't know, I read it and very little of McLuhan's book stuck in my head. I didn't disagree, just that there were so many books to read back then that were important...just the way that there are so many books to be read now.
Anyone remember when email platforms switched from just that service to an entire front page filled with news articles that were regurgitated and reposted from normal main stream media? Since we know that news networks have a biased one way or another the addition of Internet platforms like Yahoo, MSN, Google, Comcast, etc. additionally all have their own political biases. That started and amplification and polarization for people to choose One source over another and then using our email daily means that they were exposed to it more routinely. Fast forward 10 years and social media presents the same sort of bias in a more personalized way. It is extremely amplified through their algorithms and increasingly launch people into bubbles in which they never see opposing opinions except when they’re being ridiculed.
The technology isn’t bad. The personalization of interests her in person is where it all goes awry. If anything needs regulation it will be to get social media out of the business of spreading news and I use the term “news loosely Congress needs to treat all social media platforms more like a public halt crisis. End it is just that, because like a virus, lies and hate spread from person to person just as easily.
There's an old saying that a lie will have traveled around the world before the truth has put it's boots on. But this is much worse.
When all this got going -- especially the "smart phone" -- I immediately had a sense that it could only compromise my own autonomy and independence of mind. Thus I have never owned anything but a flip-phone and would not think of originating a Instagram account. My Facebook account I eliminated in 2016 and have only recently re-opened it and now use it under very limited constraints only to promote my Greek and Latin videos, never as an instrument for "personal" stuff much less political opinions. This is an important documentary.
Walter I want to see your Greek and Latin videos.
As a culture we decided that teaching critical thinking skills regarding advertising, technology, money, and politics, was not the province of the public sphere (government & public education), but the exclusive realm of complete random accident and whatever floats into the mind from the ether. This indifference gets you here at light speed - or should I say "click" speed. Brilliant conversation, thanks so much.
Your comment reminded me of a media class I took in high school in 1973. In it, we delved into how advertising and media work to steer and manipulate. It wasn't a particularly in-depth class, but it did present students to the idea of media/advertising manipulation.
@@behr121002 That was still the dusk of Marshal Mcluhan's hot and cold media theory, a time when media was under critical suspicion. We could use a little of that today in high school and beyond.
Something else that I’ve noticed about my social media feed and how they collect and disseminate content. The more I spend on social media the less diversity in the content that I receive which is extremely boring. It’s almost as if they put you in a box and then don’t expect you to have any other interests.
You're so right. I've noticed the same thing. Many things I wouldn't have known if I didn't keep following Twitter comments and links since it never appears in my feed.
I’ve quit all platforms of social media. My anxiety and self worth is so much better. I can’t see myself ever going back..
Well done. Now only use YT with search
"I think it's important to have a SHARED REALITY".........
Something that I think the documentary has forgotten to add is how the perception of reality for many people can still have the possibility to be manipulated and/or distorted, whether or not media influence is involved.
It's been something that is the subject for a lot of social psychological and neurological studies, and it influences how people learn things and develop as a person. What is considered truth has always been part of many debates for a long time, it's just that social media, and other media in general, have just made the platform to debate what their perception of the world around them is bigger and with more people involved.
This is helpful to understand what personal tech is doing to each of us. Wow, I have been clueless on so many levels.
We have never had a shared reality. When I was a kid in Alabama, we had 3 TV stations that presented a corporate created reality, and we each had our community reality. This reality was as disparate as it is now. I agree that it has become more complicated to get accurate information. However, it hs a good side also. Without social media, most Amerians would still believe that police are honest and Black/Brown people's claims of brutaity is an overreaction. It is what it has always been: it's on us to decide what is true.
You're not completely wrong, but seriously watch the documentary. It addresses all your arguments very clearly.
The difference is that American consciousness was shaped by American decision-makers. Now it’s largely shaped by anti-American fear mongers and American sociopaths.
I agree, and it's something that I think the documentary has forgotten to add is how the perception of reality for many people can still have the possibility to be manipulated and/or distorted, whether or not media influence is involved.

As a sociologist it is my belief that technology is hurting us, and making it hard for us to truly connect in the way that we are meant to, aside from the pandemic
As a guy who plays hockey...agreed
Great piece. I'll watch the documentary. This is a crucial discussion/
I encourage everyone to watch this documentary.
This might be because of the Fact that the powers that be are more concerned with what "Bots think", rather than deal with actual human beings....
And how many of us watch videos or read articles while "still holding the mouse," ready to click the next interesting thing, rather than give our undivided attention to what we just clicked on?
I've been telling my friends and family this past year that social media or any internet algorithms are basically making us all feel like we're the majority and everyone else feels the same way as you. Politics would be only 1 of many examples. Both Democrats and Republicans that I talk to both speak as if most people feel the same way they do about a topic. I tell them that the internet is catering to them and showing them what they want to see or stuff related to what they typically browse and search for. I know I still have some bias regarding certain things, as we all do whether we realize it or not. But I think of myself as very empathetic and mostly unbiased person if I set out to be, and can usually place my self in someone else's shoes to see their perspectives. I'm also 34 and probably one of the last generations that will truly remember what it was like to not have a smart phone when I was kid or the access to internet and social media that kids have today. It's scary as hell honestly. I didn't get my first phone till I was like 17 and you couldn't even text message, let alone search Google or RUclips. I see the good it has brought but I'd do without it if I had the choice.
"Race to the bottom of the brain stem" owch. Another example of "shareholder value" being more important than....anything else.
Exceptionally thoughtful. Amanpour & Co. is worth my time and consideration. Thank you all for spending your energy this way to benefit America and her people.
Groucho: "Do you follow me?" "Yes." "Well, stop following me or I'll have you arrested."
Thank you Amanpour for your insightful reporting. Absolutely spot on!
I too found it absolutely critical information that the people who run these companies minimize social media, games, and electronics for their own children. Doesn't necessarily mean these things are inherently bad, but it's a strong indication that they should not be overused. I shared this information with my students. Absolutely no effect. None.
If you tell an alcoholic or a heroin addict that they have a problem, they might not do anything (at that moment) to change, but at least they'll usually acknowledge that these things are harmful. I don't think I've met a single child or adult who would say the same thing about social media and games, unless they're being scolds. (I guess the future belongs to the 'scolds.')
Something else I find fascinating. Apparently the general consensus is that Twitter tends to be left wing while Facebook is right wing. I'm curious how that has happened. I suspect the only underlying intent was to connect as many people as possible and subtle differences in the way they work led to this split. Did Twitter go left because Facebook was right? And didn't Facebook at some point realize that their platform was encouraging and expanding neo-Nazis? What kind of people see this and think, yeah but we're making billions of dollars?
There was once a chat group for women who were petite, where to find clothes, etc.. It was called TinyGirl. Idiot men started to take it over as a sex fetish group so the women who started it, seeing that it had gone off the rails shut it down. Zuckerberg would've monetized it, and then after it attracted serial killers would've put out press releases about all the 'efforts' they are making....
That's the first I've heard of Twitter and FB have ideological tendencies. I find FB being conservative and Twitter being liberal very surprising given how Trump lives on Twitter rather than doing his job and the many voices on all sides on these platforms. Algorithms don't care; they just show you content and ads that pertain to you to increase the time you spend on the platforms and the ads your respond to so the firms make more money. This has the very bad effect of driving people into their echo chambers seeing just content they like and reinforcing often wrong beliefs.
@@linda1lee2 I think what's going on is either something in the algorithms, or how loosely or tightly they're applied that causes this. If attention equals profit for these companies then we can all imagine what's going to get the most attention: Shouting that people are here to kill us all or stating, There's a problem that needs more discussion? I suspect that Facebook intentionally followed the path of maximum profits with no regard for harm done, which probably comes from selling the information of people who are more easy to manipulate. Imagine if you got $10,000 for everyone you could get to start smoking. You wouldn't be working old people, you'd be hanging around the middle school. The politics of the most manipulable people is obvious those most susceptible to conspiracy theories.
Watched the documentary last night.
This morning I decided to go on an internet fast for a full week.
Well, we see how that worked out.
It's been 2 weeks, how'd it go?
@@wcm4346 Failed miserably. Starting again tomorrow....this is a lot harder than I though it would be.
I find myself repeating to people ofter, "Consider the source." Separate opinion from true, real facts.
My daughter is 24 so she was little in the very early days of everyone having mobile phones. I never let her have one, and never once used an electronic baby sitter, no tv. It never happened that she was isolated for not being able to talk about tv programmes. And other girls used their phones to make themselves and each other miserable. In the long run it worked out very well for her: she has an amazing ability to concentrate and topped her law school, with many added achievements, like community service, and a literary prize for her thesis. Drop the tech.
Eli nannestas: Let’s pray that she finds a mate with similar upbringing.
Literally watching this on RUclips right now
timely discussion
Would it make sense to put an age limit on internet access? Similar to driving, drinking, and smoking regulations. If so, it would be beneficial to have an "internet training" class ( like driver's ED) to prepare kids to become critical thinkers, researchers with the internet. Kids younger than 16 could have basic flip phones to contact their parents and connect with friends - that's a lot more than I had growing up in the '80s.
I realize this would be difficult with the homeschooling needing to take place during the current Covid situation, but it's something to think about for future legislation.
All those are possible good suggestions. One thing that I have said for a many years now, and I'm finding it repeated by at least some progressive voices such as David Pakman to I believe Ralph Nader, is that it is becoming a critical necessity for mandatory classes in critical thinking/logic and philosophy for K-12 education.
If this documentary was totally accurate, “they” would have censored it. Think about it. Netflix is one of the many apps that beckon to us. Netflix is going to post an accurate documentary? The truth is always in the middle. If you watch this, watch it with objectivity and read between the lines. You’ll see this documentary’s own ‘mind manipulation’.
Okay - seems you are going in the Q-Anon direction. This documentary clearly points out that there is a truth here and unless we are willing to address it and do something about it, things will only worsen. HUMAN intervention is necessary for AI to not corrupt our minds. AI merely gathers all the data driven into it, to determine what information the "user" wants to see. But ultimately, it takes HUMANS to enter the content in the first place. So if we continue to enter garbage in - you get garbage out. Solid, unadulterated, honest, and non-biased journalism would be a good place to start.
Nicole Tongue thank you for your input. I’ll take that into consideration. But as far as the Q-Anon thing. I don’t know much about it at all. I try to stay out of any extreme ideology and come up with my own ideas. Having open minded comments and discussions are how we all learn and grow. I’m willing to listen to all viewpoints.
@@quantumgirl222 fair enough.
@@quantumgirl222 Qanon is Pizzagate and other conspiracy theories lumped together. It's the ultimate example of people buying into unsubstantiated "facts". Here's a paste from Vox: "In winning the Oregon GOP primary for the US Senate Tuesday, Jo Rae Perkins became the seventh Republican congressional candidate who openly supports QAnon, a pro-Trump conspiracy theory that maintains the president is secretly fighting “deep state” operatives and Democratic pedophiles." Here's some more about her if you're interested: www.cnn.com/2020/08/22/politics/jo-rae-perkins-qanon-oregon-senate-race/index.html
Totally right on about Netflix!
I've worked in a DATA proyect here in Virginia , it's a multimillion$ investment , the place is right off Route 28 and Waxpool Blvd in the Ashburn area , I wonder if those centers have something to do with all this 🤔.
Everybody needs to watch this documentary. It really does explain what's happening in the world.
Great interview! I watched the movie and it was an eye opener to me!!!
It’s not lost on me that I watched this on RUclips.
Hi there! Can you PLEASE make this video accessible by adding or turning on Captions?
There are NO CAPTIONS on this very important video, please turn them on and make them available!
Good point. Broad casting level capabilities given to people who don't necessarily have the knowledge about what they are broadcasting without any broadcasting level responsibility when they mass market their ideas.
Going to watch the documentary tonight.
Watched it. I was expecting more from the film. Talks about algorithms and how social media is using them to control our actions. A lot of stuff we already know. Talks about how we should have more regulations on social media. The moral of the story is eliminate or at least highly reduce screen time. Research controversial topics don't take them at face value and spread misinformation.
Thank you for the conversation. It helps someone like me understand better and sympathize more with the problems facing young people. Young people are the future and that future need to be nurtured and not force fed the "fast food" of lies and half truths that will eventually poison them and imprison their minds. The question is, how do we go about weening them off of this narcotic teat of technology? The experience of a "real" world is being stolen from them.
I have always thought that because it’s so new and yet so intimately social there was never enough time for a healthy online etiquette to develop. This is essential for communication in general society and we absolutely teach our children how to be polite and work with each other so as not to be hurtful or rude unintentionally and why this is not just a better way to interact as people but codified into our laws so that if someone drastically crosses a ethical line they are stopped and hopefully deterred from ever repeating that antisocial action. This has to be moved over into the online community. Then there’s a way to go around this by teaching in school the underpinnings and psychology behind this online world. For older students it will involve a deep dive into the underlying psychological aspects of verbal abuse and how online bullying can harm and damage others in very real and brutal ways; I imagine that there are analogies between murder, rape, battery, theft, etc and the actions and reactions which happen virtually online. Especially when children are involved I believe it’s crucial that society comes to adopt and pass some sort of repercussions for bad behavior online. This must go beyond the various ways each social media company polices it’s online communities; which we all have seen are simply not very effective nor applied equally or fairly.
People are behaving very badly online currently, as though it is not a place where actions in the form of words or images are used as weapons and have real world consequences. We must start understanding that our interactions online are real and not a imaginary realm. Online socialization skills need to be taught early and continued exactly like the way we have taught our children to get along with others since time immemorial.
I hope this interview is translated to the top 5 languages spoken around the world.
Maybe we should start making truths sound like lies & conspiracy theories so that the truths spread faster.
That would have happened before if it was possible
A vital message and reality check for the world. I find it completely disgusting that Facebook refuses to take responsibility for content. We must vote in representatives who understand what is happening to our societies and culture and reign in these companies.
Great Film - powerful points are made
Excellent piece. These voices need to be heard and echo throughout. Unfortunately, greed - bloody $$$ - and "winners" seem to be in charge and calling the shots. It takes critical thinking and we are moving in the wrong direction.
What can we do when newspapers are bought by billionaires with their own political agenda? We go online. Yet Facebook refuses to eliminate political online propagada that contain lies. And now almost all sites we visit want to put cookies on our computers, one Facebook profile, our friends. Politicians depend on ads on RUclips, really, technology is out of control, and over controls us. Thanks for this program.
yup, there is a vast chasm being created between having information and seeking scholarly knowledge about a subject.
Excellent!
A "personal belief for shared truth and shared reality" as opposed to this algorithmic and personalized experience we get with our smart phones. Isn't that a genetic imperative, to have some sort of communication and connection that is commonly held?
We're social creatures...tribal, and isn't that something that developed genetically millions or hundreds of millions of years ago?
This is as important a conversation as anything else that we might have to talk about.
Maybe we should all learn to be critical thinkers and question what is in front of us as opposed to eagerly believing something sensational. This is a skill that would benefit our children as well.
Excellent piece. I’m sad to see that few people are paying attention to this. It’s imperative that we understand exactly what they’re pointing out here. I still don’t know what the answer to this is.
Social Dilemma is a very good and informative movie. Thank you!
Great documentary. I’ve been on my phone much less after viewing.
This video was recommended to me by the social media RUclips .
There is only one truth, but there is an infinite number of lies. The odds are stacked against truth.
Very interesting, @hari. We the NewsHour viewers are regular viewers to this programme. #AmanpourPBS #PBSNEWS
The lies are not as important, in my opinion, as the peoples willingness to accept those lies as trurh...
And without ONE CLICK of research!
"I think, therefore I am" (Rene Descartes). In the shadow of social media, we are giving up our capacity for independent critical thought. It seems we have lost the ability to observe our surroundings and make basic, logical conclusions. Instead, large groups of otherwise intelligent, compassionate human beings run scared, at full speed, to the abyss of emotional crisis. I unplugged my personal face book page 12 years ago when it became too onerous to keep up with the changes FB was making to the platform. Now I spend more time with my family, learning how to play the guitar, and working on the ranch. I wish the best for our country.
Get off all social media! I did it, and I have my mind back.
This huge companies should be obligated, by the people, to return those enormous amounts of money that we all provide them throught our use to stop hunger and poverty around the world! That could be a great move for them!
YAY Jeff!
paying for RUclips helps -- no ads. I also choose what i watch instead of depending on the feed
What scares me is how bad it already is, in hindsight of course. I see way more potential for more threats and new threats to pop up than I do solutions to fix the drastic effect its had on the world. But I'm an optimist
Why can't we have a social media platform without ads?? Oh yeah Capitalism, that's why.
"Love and truth must win over lies and hatred." ---Vaclav Havel
So true. Lies go round the 🌎 before truth can get a shoe on a foot!
I'm so happy my 17-year old kid never got into the social media craze. he NEVER got on Facebook and only did Instagram for a while. But he's too self-assured to care about how many digital "friends" or "likes" one gets. Social media is not a good reflection of "social" anyone is or "popular" or "well-liked." In fact, I've come to see the people that overly obsessed with getting their "likes" and putting photo after photo of themselves on social media, as being socially inept or insecure. It's quite sad.
Amazing film
"Truth will never win". That comment pretty much sums up the state of world.
This is a very absorbing film. One minor correction to Christine's intro: Tristan Harris makes more than a "cameo" appearance in the film.
This is a very serious problem. I’m my opinion, the biggest threat to humanity ever.
I don't know if anyone noticed about this youtube channel is not having any advertisement. This documentary is an eye-opening thing on the internet and needs to release on large free platform so that everyone can watch. #beAchange
Turning 40. Teenager of the 90s. So glad I can remember the world b4 social media.. b4 the internet. Been off FB for5 years recently got off Insta. Only use RUclips these days.. and 1 mobile game which sometimes I think I might be addicted to (gotta open those chests) lol. Since I've been off social media I feel I don't focus on others anymore and I focus on my own journey and reality. I understand it's easier for me being older and not growing up with social media to walk away. Man I do luv my RUclips though 🤔🤔🤔
The most important point for me: adaptation is not the main goal. First, there's got to be some sort of resistance and alternatives. Then we'll see and decide what social media is good for. I'm sure Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc... won't concede willingly to step down to being just a tool. That aspect is simply a bad thing, and unhealthy.
Knew about the cons but not the depth and real world consequences -- especially in Myanmar. This industry needs regulation. The gravy train has been long enough.
Also Arab Spring. I blame Facebook for that.
I really hate it when these videos can't seem to sync up their audio to the video.
teach more media literacy
Great film
Not only ripping apart the fabric of society, but family too. As a mother of 2 boys (8 and 11 years old) I am finding it extremely difficult to deal with the constant push of screens and screen time in general. It puts a big stress on our family, the topic never stops coming up and needs constant attention. It cuts off our communication with each other, shortens our attention spans, our listening ability, and on and on.
Two year's agoI refused to add a new platform to my life for a 28 year old model who I met & know in person.
She asked why, my reply I dont want more of that in my life.
I suggested she call me & she did we went out for coffee, been a great 2 years.
How do we re-learn our capacity to engage with those that think differently?
That is a good question. How do we re-learn our desire to want to? Did we ever have one though? I mean through history we've always kind of been drawn to people who think like us, same religion, same political affiliations, same economic class. I used to think the internet was working toward making us a more diverse, tolerant, connected species. In the early days you could talk to people very different from you and learn a lot. I lost a lot of my biases just talking to people of other cultures and religions back in the early days of BBS's and chat rooms, before they morphed into the garbage they became.

Well, we're here, so there's that. But I'm not a member of "The Facebook", so there's that too. I try to keep our culture at a certain distance; I don't eat processed food or even watch TV, and of course, I haven't had covid; SOCIAL DISTANCE FROM A TAINTED AND DESTRUCTIVE CULTURE might be my motto, if I had a motto. Good luck out there!
This is akin to how false memories are created. Influence isn't that hard. The internet is a library and the twilight zone. This video has the kind of information that makes me say wow but the people I know that would have the same reaction is shrinking. Jerry Garcia said, what ever reaches you.
Customizing reality is very dangerous...I can no longer depend on much of the information I receive on RUclips...its been vetted to just appeal to me,and that dismays me to no end.I want to know whats REALLY going on,not just what AI "thinks" I want to know...there is an objective reality,and I want to actually know whats occuring in it.
I'd love to watch this film, but don't want to subscribe to Netflix. Are there other options?
Free trial then unsubscribe.
@@babubroiler By doing that she will share her emailing address and her name .
Not if she creates a new fake one with incorrect details.
I think the full film is on YT now. Seems uploaded recently.
Video should have more views!
i'd say its more about our educational system- and how weak it is- so many critical facts about who we are, what we depend upon, what makes a good sustainable economy is, where we are in the universe, how to be a good citizen, the variation in humans, how to develope community and maturity, etc.
I have my cell phone but I still have my brain and logic circuits are in working order should be good to go I make sure to look into something before I believe it as we all should
I’ve left all social media behind apart from RUclips. Next step: more films, books and people.
this reminds of Metal gear solid 2 story about social engineering of truth. This is 20 years ago scary how it's actually happening now
honored to be here early
I think it's the internet and globalization as a whole that have created these new problems. It just needs some strategic regulation. Hopefully, the more we understand about this topic, the more effectively we'll be able to mitigate these negative effects.
