I mostly agree with the film’s central premise that technologies represent an “existential crisis” to our lives. In some ways they are over reacting, I do not believe that a civil war is going to happen, or the world is going to end due to social media. I do believe though that we are slowly losing ourselves and humanity to the digital world. We have forgotten how to interact with others outside of social media. We can’t put ourselves in other peoples shoes now, because social media has made us more self-centered. I don’t think that there is a permeant solution to fixing how these technologies run. There is always going to be this constant cycle of like buttons, or threads, or videos everywhere. Even if technology companies tried to make a change, people would find ways around the changes and rules.
