Strong yes to that one. I hated that we got "school laptops" at vgs (that will be schoolyear 11-13) because I always had that divide between using laptops for fun and school being offline outside a few essays a year. And then it mixed and now it's still fucked. Same reason why I hated my two years of online study (14). As well, digital curriculum is the death of me. I do not function with reading on screens if I want it to be worth the effort. Without taking notes in a book besides, I remember nothing. I wonder if that's like, one reason why online content has so short attention span. That was just a fleeting thought.Nesta wrote:

What are some of the things you mean have happened to "change everything?"
I mostly meant how I felt or what happened with me. I was 13 when I started to use social media and it was fun as stuff for awhile but along these years it just became part of me somehow like everything about me comes from there. I'm not that good at explaining things but maybe you understand what I mean.Moongirl wrote:
I kind of know many of things about it.
like I did stop posting on social media 3 years ago bc it was bullshit and affected me to much, but like I thought ofc they stalk us so they can recommend us similar things but the movie just made it sound that brutal and I'm afraid I will get affected by fake information too much bc I already have.
and it made me realize how much what I see there affects my reality and other people don't have that reality like it said.
I was thinking a lot and I just got deeper and deeper and now I see how much it has changed everything.
I feel like the movie just explained it and that it carried with its rather impersonal, robotic vibe that it is since it is a system aimed at profit and such. Personally, however, the algorithms are about to go tear my nerves out for being terrible. The part about literally just getting content that reinstates your belief is truly the bubble my accounts currently exist in. I barely find anything different in discovering pages, etc. and it's boring.I kind of know many of things about it.
