Social Fabric is at risk - must watch

in socialengineering •  7 years ago 

I used to feel that i was weird when i started limiting my usage of Facebook and Twitter. Now I feel that it's not me alone.
People who matter in the tech industry are acknowledging that we have created a system which wants to connect us all in a single thread without any care of what it does to the people being connected.

We need to come up with institution which teaches kids rewire our brain to help us consciously get away from these application. I don't want my kids to be programmed by people who think they are smarter than the rest.

I deeply feel it all boils down to 1 point. People in the tech industry have lost why we are building tech. It feels like these people are on a mission to create a system that is parallel to the human society. Not sure if we let people like these lead our society - where we are finally heading to.

Please reply if you read my blog. I want to know if you feel same as me.

Nice article

Thanks for taking time out to read my blog. FB/Twitter/whatsapp are not the only ones doing it. most industries are working on some formula or other to implement structures which give feedback to brain keeping us interested. I am working on self development so we use these tools and not end up being used by them. Follow me and i would make sure i share more as i continue exploring.
