Its important to face and manage the downside of technology… for example SOCIAL MEDIA. This is what research shows is the reality and nature of it…\u00a0 It causes us to: lose our perspective; damages our character; lose ourselves and even better leeches our free will.<\/p>\n
Its reward and punishment schemes are intentionally like gambling designed to be addictive, it carries out constant surveillance of society, it manipulates because it has a feedback loop, this feedback loop focuses on negative responses because they negative are immediate and positive are slower, & contrary ti the GDPR nonsense the manipulation to society and our psychology is far more damaging than the data privacy aspects.<\/p>\n
There is a correlation with depression teenage suicide too. It reduces the quality of relationships, not to mention wasting vast amounts of time to worthless\u00a0interaction.<\/p>\n
This manipulation causes us to lose our perspective and trust in news and undermines the quality of our decision\u00a0making and creates polarisation of views<\/p>\n
Jaron says the social media models such as Facebook, are all systemically created to sell advertising and influence our behaviour<\/p>\n
If no manipulation like the TV – then its OK<\/p>\n
Human thinking without social media manipulation by preserving our perspective is a wonderful thing, yet will become a rare thing.<\/p>\n
No perspective no conversation!<\/p>\n
