The Social Dilemma is one of the most spoken about doco's to hit Netflix. If you're currently on social media, you should definitely watch it.
Some interesting insights that came out of it:
- This technology can be used as a tool for growth and connection or a weapon of misinformation and radicalization.
- The documentary goes deep into how the tool/weapon has been used and how we have become the commodity for companies. Social Media is designed to keep us on there for as long as possible.
- Have you ever felt you were on a link for 5 minutes and realized it was 30 minutes? That's the power of it. Social Media can understand how we consume content and make suggestions. It's all been deliberately designed that way.
I was also interested that we blamed the people and the technology for getting out of control. Humans are the ones in control of their decisions.
We can utilize social media as a tool to serve our purpose for connection and business growth. But, we can also allow it to drag us into the pit, overconsume it and become indoctrinated.
We are the only ones that can truly overcome the obstacles in our path.
Only we can rectify and keep moving in the direction we choose to go.
Everything else in life is trying to blow you off course.
