 I'd say this is one of the best post I have seen since the beginning of the week. If I am to put my pence to this note. I'd say, social media is like a "swiss knife". It is sharp to a professional users, to a kid, it is very dangerous. This is how I see every innovation. It has so much potential to drive change. But what that change is depends on the user. Social media taught us so many things; from dopamine (likes, following ans validation), genuine connection that led to marriage, distraction - short attention span, critical thinking laziness, fake personas, etc. However, the most difficult change that social media taught us is it is threatening the foundation of freedom of expression, mass control through algorithm and ads and monopoly of narrative and information/data. Yes, a lot of people do not have boundaries; oversharing or vulnerability boundaries. But as a result of this technology, we are in a verge of being silence. Social media also highlight whether the people we put to power truly represent our vision of freedom or not. #foodforthought ❤️👌
