Amid impending election results and a global pandemic, we are on our phones and computers more than ever. Social media is a powerful tool, but it is also increasing addictions and other mental illnesses, particularly in younger users. This week, Jesson Chen joins us to talk about the recent Netflix documentary, The Social Dilemma, which discusses the rise of social media addictions and the other ways that social media may do more harm than good. With the increasing intelligence and manipulation of social media, the rise of influencers, and fake news, can any good come out of social media? Are we addicted to social media? Will we continue to use social media after watching this? Whose responsibility is it to refocus social media? Listen to hear our perspectives!
