A friend said to watch “The Social Dilemma” on Netflix. It was an eye opener! It was produced by a bunch of Google, Facebook, Pinterest, and other tech architects. They talked about how they created search engines and advertising hooks that direct people’s thinking. They lock you into things they know you are interested in and keep any other outside information from you. This way it causes a division of groups like the Republicans and the Democrats.
It is a manipulation of our cultural that segregates cultures and limits our input to block the whole picture from our view. They do this because they want to guide us into buying products from their advertisers. We are the products sold to the customers of these tech giants. Advertisers are the customers because they pay. We are the products because we freely give up all the information about our lives thinking we are only sharing it with friends and family.
They didn’t say this but I believe it is the same way computer games are designed to keep you playing. You feel like just one more time but then hours pass by.
Please watch this “The Social Dilemma” on Netflix. It is time to make a shift folks. The only shepherd I want herding the sheep into pens is Jesus. He does this for protection and not to make money. It is a new season and it is time to make a shift!
May the web of deception be removed from our minds and the addiction to social media be demolished. Cause us to rise up and shake off the stupor of false contentment. May we have the mind of Christ! Amen!
Thanks Ruth it is all so true. Blessings Mickey
