SOCIAL MEDIA VS YOU?

by Anatoly IVANOV

MARKETING / PSYCHOLOGY / SOCIAL MEDIA / SOCIETY / ESSAYS

Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are platforms run by multi-billion-dollar companies with near infinite resources, best research and development teams, top neuroscientists and unscrupulous user interface designers. Huge companies working to make your experience on social media as sticky and addictive as possible. To take over your limbic system, override the neocortex and entrap you in the links, the photos and the likes, without any sense of time passing.

Unless you dedicate enormous energy / skill / effort (prana / qi / CBT) into yogi / bodhisattva-like self-awareness and control… you loose by default.
