In a sense the video is showing or telling us that we have no privacy from these social networks we are experiments that are only getting more and more fooled as we spend time and interact with these applications as we feel these attractions of comfort and a feeling of belonging when the device disappears from our hands we enter a desperate sense of comfort and all we search for is a screen to watch. Never an activity that involves some kind of physical movement. I am now realizing this due to the technology that the video exposed to us getting our data sending notifications about random things trying to control your attention by using a system that knows what you are attracted to and what you want based on the data they have taken from your device. Every Notification that hits your phone from any social media platform contains something you like never anything you don't like. This is constantly attracting your attention from your surroundings.

One way that social media platforms and technology have been created is by showing users content that appeals to their interests. Once they appeal to the user's interest, whether that's sports, news, hobbies, and more, the user will be drawn more deeply into social media and technology. This was shown in the film "The Social Dilemma" when the boy was drawn to his phone because of the content that was being shown to him, whether it was the girl he liked or towards the end when he was drawn to the protests and theories. This relates to how branding works because many companies tend to want to attract consumers and they do so by showing details on their advertisements that can appeal to the consumers. It can appeal to consumers emotionally, logistically, and even using credibility such as celebrities. Not only do they want to attract consumers attention but they want them to be fully drawn in, making one eventually be a loyal consumer.

The documentary explains how we are completely unaware of how companies/brands use our data to analyze our behaviors and reactions. This strategy helps promote more advertisements and what companies/brands want you to see, to reciprocate a specific behavior from us. This means that companies feed us with what we are most entertained by because it easily catches our attention. Just like in the video the boy's data was studied and his every move was predictable because he was easily distracted and engaged to interact with the platform where the algorithm feed was based off his own interests.

# data[].attributes.body
Social media platforms and technology have been evolving together, rapidly. Their functions are related because technology uses an algorithm that is integrated into their platforms which has the sole purpose of predicting what you're going to be interested in. Social media uses technology to garner the consumer's attention and manipulate with different tactics to pursue its goals. Branding's main goal is for a company to whisper in everyone's ears, "Pick me," and with the technology, that's the goal of the algorithm. Social media and technology work hand and hand because the idea of branding is that you encourage the consumers to purchase something, despite of its quality. The documentary, "The Social Dilemma", says "The algorithm can convince people of false ideas." That would entail the way branding is easily down through the media and technology. Social media is the platform, and the algorithm is what's tying the consumer to it, pursuing them of things that'll keep them engaged.

From the documentary, my idea that came up was how huge technology is for someone's life. It showed us how fast it has grown and how they haven't also seen the bad stuff that was occurring and grown so fast. It also shows us how technology is and has been controlling us for a while and right now people are still finding ways to stop this and reduce what has been happening. So the film showed us so many ways how they are branding their stuff. These tactics stuck out to me and will always be in my head I like the part where they say something like "If you are not buying anything from the company then you are the product." So this huge tactic that they are using comes from how they also said they are trying to get our attention and how many hours and how much they can get from our time to give to them and they said is who going to come out and win this war. Is huge how they use tactics as well by seeing their data because is all saved and shows them what type of stuff people will like about and how they give us so many recommended stuff in our feed. Also, they use their data and use different ways to get people's attention to use their apps more often and get their time into them and that's how companies are winning over you.

The A.I program in social media platforms to help brands find their targeted audience branding image. The A.I can find out what the customer's interests and values are. They take advantage of users because they are programmed for one thing and one thing only, catch the viewer's attention. Each branding has its own image and message, and the social media platforms get paid for the attention of users who have a high likelihood of getting hooked. An example of this is when you are scrolling on Instagram and seeing cat videos because you own cats. Then you see an ad about a brand that emphasizes their love for helping stray cats in the ad to make them feel benevolent. They then show off their products that are reasonably priced, and oh you might need a new cat bowl because your old one is bland. This shows how the AI first learned of the customer's pet maybe by seeing their post of their cat or a post they like. Then it will be told to find customers who love cats.

Social media uses a algorithm to recommend post of your interest. Meaning everything we search up or watch goes into this system where the company uses this information to get us consumers to watch/buy products of our liking to make them more money. These methods used by companies help brand themselves and others helping the rich get more richer while people like us who don't have as much money stay the same. Companies knowing we are easily influenced by social media gives them an advantage on our interest giving a better idea of what these individuals would purchase. Social media apps are controlling our day to day life and influencing us on false information as well. These videos are recommended or pop up on your feed when you are easily intrigued. The algorithm brands these videos because of your interest and if you are easily fooled you become accustomed to false information. So many individuals are affected by this because of today's society, everyone including children have phones nowadays and are glued to these devices creating a false sense of reality.

This ties into branding because branding is what companies use to get their products out to the people in things like advertisements and commercials that get people to want to buy their products. How AI and algorithms work is by generating feeds that are unique to you to get you to keep opening apps like Twitter and Facebook so the companies make more money. The more you interact and are influenced by these social media platforms the more you are willing to fall victim to keep opening the app and influencing others to do the same.
