Episode 121: The Internet Is Weird Dude

The internet has become an addictive, habit forming, and privacy destructive place. I realized I needed to talk about this after reading Caitlin Flanagan's article in The Atlantic about her Twitter addiction. I agreed that I too have fallen victim to Twitter and Social Media in general. Especially her conclusions about it being harmful to her attention span, which I linked to the push for shorter length of content. I also linked the rise of political divisions to social media and its algorithmically created echo chambers, used solely for marketing purposes. We are killing our nation for someone else's profit!
