I wasn't sure what to expect with the film but after watching it for the first time, my view on social media completely changed. It was aware that social media controls us yet we don't realize it because social media cures our boredom and loneliness. Their strongest element of their arguments was ethos due to the wide variation of those who were interviewed. The interviewed people came from credible backgrounds like the creator of the like button. Thus, social media manipulates you in a harmful way while the media profits off it.

After watching this movie, it made me understand how aware I have to be when using technology in general. I knew that there was a huge problem with it, but I didn't know it was to this extent. It resonated with me that people are way more likely to kill themselves because of social media and the harm that other people put them in.

As someone who has gotten to see the inner workings of social media, I agree with large aspects of the movie and am very concerned with how these larger platforms operate. My opinions haven't shifted as I've seen the movie before, but I definitely agree with the premise of the movie (although I think certain parts are somewhat exaggerated).

In the document, Tim Kendall, the former president of Pinterest, addressed how serious his addiction was to his phone. That part resonated with me because I noticed that addiction was not something a person can easily get over. Social Media is an important system that sits in the center of our daily lives as the document explained, so it is something that can't be taken out. Social Media to me is like drugs or smoking, so I try not to touch it as much as I can. In my opinion, the strongest element of their arguments were ethos because there is clearly a more bigger impact when creators/ people that has experienced the problem first hand speak out their opinion and address their view of the problem.

What resonated with my was how secretive and manipulative social media truly is. Every time I open my phone and I'm scrolling through Instagram, I'll be thinking of the data that is being collected.

I have seen this movie previously so, my opinions haven't shifted but, what resonated with me was how we all are truly blindsided behind the scenes of what is going on when we use social media. we are so naive and don't realize how addictive, and how little privacy we have. the scenes in the movie do represent most of our lives and relationships with technology. The strongest element of the argument in the film was having professionals who worked in the tech industry talk about how each social media was designed.

I wasn't able to watch music of it, but from what I did see, I realized that social media is something that takes a hold over our lives and without it, one can be cut out of part of society.

What resonated with me was how the mind of many people are being controlled by others. I have not thought about this so deeply and when I saw the video, it made a lot of sense.

A part that resonated with me was how clear they made the fact that we are being manipulated into using our phones and social media.

Just a lot of the family scenes, with the little sister and the especially the dinner table scene. I think social media is good, but has to closely be watching the time, so in moderation. I knew social media was bad mentally but not to this degree. The strongest elements were those of their personal experiences and of the effects, mainly showing how social media worked and how it encouraged discourse throughout the world.

A particular goal in the film that resonated with me was how social media can affect one's life. Outside of your phone contains so many opportunities and adventures. Social media has really impacted our society currently. You feel as if, without it you're lost. But the goal of this film was to show how once you lose the screen you gain the ability to connect with yourself and “real life”.

This film made me realize that I'm using social media for more time everyday than I'd like to. Something that resonated with me was when they said that we are the product (our attention), because it's always felt like using these apps was free and for our benefit, and this video made me realize that the social media app makers do have an ulterior motive behind making them. I've always felt that I was in control of my screen time and what I do online, and I don't know if I feel that as much anymore. In my opinion, the strongest element of their argument was when they talked about how social media is affecting teens and children, cause it definetly is. However, I feel that while they made some good points, they overdramatized the situation a little bit.

After watching the film I realized the true impact social media can have on our lives. It made me aware that I need to significantly minimize my screen time. I believe that social media can be a positive place to communicate with friends and family. But now I am also aware of the dangers and how it can shift ones opinion on things like politics.  I believe ethos was the strongest element because by setting up credibility and trust the viewer felt safe knowing that the following was going to be discussed by professionals that had years of experience on the topic.

What resonated with me is seeing how addictive technology is and the bad effects it has on people. nothing really shifted with me because i don't really care that these companies know my interests.

The representation of a family discussing the changes that have occurred in their family because of social media really stuck out to me. I already knew a lot of the stuff that was discussed, so my view hasn't really changed. In my opinion, using former employees at big social media platforms to see their story was a strong element to their argument.

# data[].attributes.body
what resonated most with me was my discovery of how malleable my mind is, based on the content of the documentary. I have never trusted social media; I haven't opened instagram in months. Nothing particularly shifted for me after watching the documentary. I think that the strongest element of their argument was their use of pathos, specifically fear.

# data[].attributes.body
What resonated with me was how blindsided we are about what actually occurs behind our screens. My thoughts on social media are not the best. I guess it kind of depends on how much you use it but it makes me feel more aware of how they maintain activity on their apps for so long. In my opinion, I think the strongest of their arguments was ethos because they knew all of this stuff from firsthand experience which made us deem them more credible with the topics they discussed.

What resonated with me was how technology changed the behavior of the teenager. After watching this, I am more aware of the reality of social media. Now, I kind of want to stay away from social media. I think the strongest argument is pathos. Playing on people's fear.

# data[].attributes.body
Watching this film made me more aware of the fact that I can have little privacy  I can actually have. It made me aware of the realities of social media and technology. I think that they used a lot of pathos as a "fear factor" type thing.

Something that resonated with me was that the film was very exaggerated. Nothing in me shifted as I already knew that there is an algorithm that is used to keep you interacting with an app. Their argument was very unconvincing to me.

What I thought was pretty interesting was just how many psychological factors were embedded into the system of social media. What really resonated with me was actually how the girl in the film (who broke the box that had the timer to unlock it to get her phone back) felt that she had to use filter upon filter to gain a level of social recognition on her social media. This film succeeded in raising my own awareness of the social media industry.

After watching this film, it gives me the creeps about what a technological platform can find out about a person. I like the aspect of social media just not the way that they are making it function. getting to know your friends personal lives outside of school is cool but when they use you as some kind of mechanism for money is where the line should be drawn. I think that the strongest element of their argument is the people who worked in the higher up positions and trying to make change inside the company.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was really interesting the way the film described humans being consumed by technology and how social media is able to get away with that. When the experts were explaining the way social media is able to become such an addictive force they shared a lot of wise information. I also thought the stories they added in between really hooked me.

# data[].attributes.body
The actors representation of the algorithm resonated with me the most because it felt familiar as I was watching it.
The combination of ethos, logos, and pathos definitely shifted my thoughts on social media. Before watching the documentary, I was already quite skeptical about social media and technology. I was aware that tech companies collected out info and sold it to advertisers. After watching the arguments made in the film I have become more conscious about my media consumption. The MIT study that fake news on Twitter spreads 6x faster than true news really surprised me. It got me to understand the extent of fake news.

It made me super aware of my screen time and overall technology usuage in an insecure way. I feel bad if I use my phone first thing and consiously try to change some of my ways throughout the day.

What resonated with me in this film was seeing how much social media is  really affecting myself and everyone around me. Based on their claims my thoughts on social media shifted negatively as I realized the damaging effects physiologically outweigh the benefits of it. In my opinion, the strongest element of their argument was they imagery they provided with the robotic versions of each individual social media user, even though I feel it was definitely overemphasized and that it doesn't actually work like that.

# data[].attributes.body
It kind of scared me. It made me realize how little privacy I actually have. Now, it's on my mind that people are watching me while I scroll through whatever social media, and it's totally wigging me out! Ultimately, it won't have too big an impact, because I don't use social media. The strongest element of their arguments is really the fact that they can see you, they know you, what you like, your personality, and that's definitely something to ponder.
