Like we are all captive to, if you’re in the U.S. Here’s a specific example of how it might affect folks, right? They’re constructed really to retain our interest, and things like that. And so it serves so many different functions, but it also takes advantage of us in lots of different ways because lots of the social media platforms use our data for various things.Īnd they’re constructed to keep us captive. Jenn: So that’s a social platform for video games. Jenn: Which is the online video game streaming one. I don’t even know what some of these things are, so, if you are a teenager and you’re listening educate us. I’m a little nervous about this because I’m thinking like what’s Twitch. It gives us things too, right? It’s sort of part of the social commerce that we’re all a part of.Īnd it’s really hard at this point thinking about could I extricate myself from this, especially for teenagers and younger folks who are really fluent in it. They vary in terms of functionally, what does it take our time away from in our lives, right? And our connections with each other, daily tasks, and things like that. It does affect us in a number of different ways. It’s not lost on me that this is a generation of kids who are being raised, and they have no idea about what things were like before social media, so it does affect us. It’s really hard to think about a time when it wasn’t. Social media it’s so embedded in our lives now. Lisa: Yeah, and I think depending on whose in our audience, whether it’s parents, whether it’s adults, young adults, older folks, it doesn’t really matter. Jenn: And I know that this is something that you were always super passionate about, and it’s something that we’ve talked about in previous sessions, but I didn’t know if you wanted to just talk a little bit about what you know about the impact of social media, and how it’s actually affecting us more than we may think. Jenn: I’m fantastic, it’s always so nice to see you. Lisa: Hi, how are you? Very happy to be here.
