Social media Changes the original question by pushing certain ideas

# data[].attributes.body
the ‘most empowering menu”is different from the menu with the most choices

# data[].attributes.body
Social media pushes apps and technology. It only shows certain choices

# data[].attributes.body
Social media and technology subconsciously controls us to stay within certian lines by only showing us specific places people or things, which is basically saying the world is picked for us we don’t get a choice of what we want anymore

# data[].attributes.body
Social Media made life so easy to swipe and find whatever when the point is to go out and look and explore.

# data[].attributes.body
Couples are now online and meeting on apps versus communicating to meetup in real life. Choices for a spouse are confined to a 10-20 mile space based on where someone lives.

# data[].attributes.body
Social media can provide connection between people through communication. Tinder only provides select choices based on an algorithm

# data[].attributes.body
Causes people to become confines and think inside the box rather than going out and being creative thinking of new ideas that are not on the “menus” in everyday life

# data[].attributes.body
Changes how we see our choices and replaces our options

The empowering feeling of feeling wanted and feeling important is what makes you feel like you need these things to fulfill oneself

We’ve come to love the feeling we get from notifications and this menu, our phone builds for us over night. Now a lot of us tend to forget the actual needs we should focus on in the morning because this distraction that builds over time on our phone just creating a negative mindset

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is more about how big businesses can manipulate those into using their app more to make profit rather than use social media apps as a beneficial way to interact with others.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like social media limits the true communication of humans due to the non expression and the way people just always use these apps in place of just talking to one another.

# data[].attributes.body
Social media changed how we communicated limits how we communicate has us get addicted to rewards and not the connection we get from talking to people and seeing their lives

# data[].attributes.body
Tiktok

Instagram

Snapchat

Tinder

Facebook

etc.

The slot machine is constant scroll to see what you WANT to see yet it not always like that.

That constant fear of missing out on something important keeps one connected and still due to that need to be ready at all times for something…even when that something is most likely nothing.

# data[].attributes.body
We might get on our phone once to look at one thing but there is always something else that distracts that makes us look at notifications then we go to an app or even text someone back, our phone continues to suck us in everyday even if we feel like we have control

# data[].attributes.body
We always will and always have missed out on things events and conversations but now that we are seeing what we miss out on through social media it makes us feel even more left out

# data[].attributes.body
The fear of missing out is natural but social media increases the fear and anxiety of missing something tenfold by being able to see the lives of those you do not talk to anymore

# data[].attributes.body
The feeling of being @-ed or mentioned in a post or comment makes one feel the satisfaction of being thought about and being liked by others

# data[].attributes.body
Social media can manipulate how long a post stays on someones feed so it sticks around longer and more people interact with it

# data[].attributes.body
Our feed is an echo chamber because it always comes back after someone comment likes or reposts so it just pulls us in a lot more

# data[].attributes.body
People make less conscious decisions to do things like tag others. Suggestions are feed to you.

# data[].attributes.body
Each time a video is watched, the more it becomes prevalent in the feed

# data[].attributes.body
There are many different ways, unknown to the user, that apps like Facebook can display certain posts and actions to encourage more use of their app.

Suicide rates have gone up drastically since social media has come around.

the percentage of suicide has gon up drastically since social media has been around. Coincidence?

# data[].attributes.body
Social media can dictate our relationships with others with etiquette such as responding to text messages, or following someone back can define a relationship

# data[].attributes.body
Social media forces people to feel as though they need to reply to messages, like others’ posts, comment compliments, etc. to get more users to use their app

# data[].attributes.body
Must reciprocate actions on social media (follow people back, like someone else post after they like yours)

# data[].attributes.body
The social media wants you to keep coming back

Ex- Streaks or facebook likes

# data[].attributes.body
Suicide rates have gone up every since we’ve had so many social media platforms created because so many people especially young people tend to compare themselves to others and even fake people which effects our self image along with many people get bullied the most off social media because bullies are able to hide behind screens instead of being face to face. These bullies feel like they are protected by this else platforms causing more problems to happen

# data[].attributes.body
Many actions can feel targeted to one user but be nothing but an unconscious decision to another.

# data[].attributes.body
Most things are not conscious when on social media. Apps direct you into making that decision. Ie: friend suggestions, we think if someone adds us as a friend it’s their conscious decision but I reality it’s more than likely because a list of suggested friends was shown to them.

# data[].attributes.body
People feel obligated to reciprocate actions (likes, comments, shares) if one does so to the other. Doing this makes one feel as if there is a bond or connection amongst each other. Yet, if one does not act on those as another did—the feeling of animosity or the thoughts of one not liking someone comes into play.

# data[].attributes.body
You can trick people into consuming more, tech companies do the same thing with things like youtube autoplay.

# data[].attributes.body
Social media keeps you wanting things by feeding them things automatically. Like a bottomless bowl of soup you will eat more

# data[].attributes.body
Social media like YouTube continues to feed us more videos even after finish watching a video we picked and now YouTube will even show us like 8 different videos at a time so then the viewers will get interested by seeing a picture or person them seem to interested in, and it just keeps going after every video

# data[].attributes.body
The nonstop consuming of media keeps that consumer satisfied and more hooked to said app. It does this by the app taking data and actions that you act on when one is engaging on the app. Constant new suggestions are fed to the consumer to see make them more content when in reality the app is just giving more and more on ones feed to keep one addicted.

# data[].attributes.body
We are given “autoplayed” content without consent, force-feeding attention-grabbing information that we never asked for.

Hijack #7: Interruption is good for business

Interruption is good due to the need for the consumer to not want anything interrupting the main focus, making one willing to pay for the convenience. The need to keep going and going which lute more money in the pocket of the big corporations.

Immediate interruptions make peoples want to look at an app. More urgency. (I.E. read receipts) drives social reciprocity
