To start a renewal process to begin fresh and to realign with civility.
The past couple days I took the time to watch the documentary
'the Social Dilemma' on Netflix
Worth the 93 minutes it takes to watch
I watched it twice
So your homework assignment this week end is to
Take the time, make the time and let the message of the documentary sink in.
The answer is not so easy as to walk away from the social media revolution
But a renewal of our minds, our return to our beliefs and values may just be the key
But how we all ask?
The Social Dilemma is laced with prophetic statements and insights from tech insiders that goes back and forth like a pendulum, hitting us with the hard-to-swallow truth bombs about social media. Here are a few for you to know:
”Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
”If you’re not paying for the product, then you’re the product.”
”It’s the gradual, slight, imperceptible change in our own behaviour and perception that is the product.”
”There are only two industries that call their customers ‘users’: illegal drugs and software.”
”Social media is a marketplace that trades exclusively in human futures.”
”The very meaning of culture is manipulation.”
Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to smile : )
Share a smile along the way !

Embrace always, smile forever and share united.
