Digital content can distort your reality. This in turn causes you to assume every outcome is binary. The scope of one’s efforts or results are far more diverse than an either or set of circumstances.

The Cognitive Collapse.
When the internet was invented, it was beneficial to society. It helped connect more people, save more time, and money. Now the internet is killing us. Making us dumber via reliance on automated tools that fix our spelling, give us the correct answer without thinking, and causing us to forego our values, for likes, comments and subscribers. Imagine a person being exposed to this world before they can even speak in coherent sentences, and seeing how much of this screen time warps their cognitive abilities into adulthood.

Will it the reverse ever occur again?
It seems more and more like society has no respect for privacy. Being that social media has become the new drug for attention and clout, so many people are willing to expose themselves. They expose themselves for sympathy, or recognition, or admiration. It initially starts as a way to create and build a brand or business. You promote the product, get a few sales.
Tout your victories, rinse and repeat. After a while you feel the need to scale. Since you’ve gone through all of your sales scripts, ideas, and skits, you begin the reveal. The reveal of your history, who you really are and why you’re relatable. After a while it becomes a showcase of your personal relationships, drama, and your views on things that were once sacred or private to you.
Some people get into pillow talk. Some scold others. The list goes on and on. Now when you converse with people, it’s social convention to put it all out there at some point. This being the case, what is left for you and your family at home? The cameras are always rolling, and people will never stop scrolling, so you keep trolling.
Pretending to be authentic, while exposing yourself for views, likes, and more profit. You lift the boundaries, and lower your standards, to keep the audience engaged. It’s a bit concerning. I just wonder how much of this behavior will seep into in-person interactions?

Content continuity.
I find it interesting that even though anybody can upload anything random on the internet there are still rules and laws that prevent you from getting traction. Randomly posting your content just doesn’t work. At least it’s very unlikely. However, having a systematic process in relation to how you deliver content seems to be the cherry on top of whatever value you bring to your audience. Always post systematically, and never forget to give something. Rules I need to follow when promoting other brands.

Is there too much information at our disposal or not enough?
You can find practically anything that anyone has public access to since a majority of it ends up on the world wide web.
I think it’s a huge problem. People no longer have to work to fact check or find sources.
The internet is like a automated library with an infinite amount of content.
This will results in lower levels of intelligence across the board.
