A review on Netflix documentary about social media and technology

Intro

“We tweet, we like, and we share — but what are the consequences of our growing dependence on social media? As digital platforms increasingly become a lifeline to stay connected, Silicon Valley insiders reveal how social media is reprogramming civilization by exposing what’s hiding on the other side of your screen”.

So you have probably seen this documentary from people who previously worked at Google, Facebook, Twiter, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube and similar companies.

Problem

Mainly the main argument about the film could be ‘Social Media as we know it, is destroying our lives, they way we relate and behave’.

From here they have some initial questions about it, questions we all should do to ourselves:

  • Is this normal?
  • Can we do something about it?
