https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9 What do you think of the claim made in The Social Dilemma? Is it “true”? Is there another truth? Can the sale of our attention be understood from another point of view? Should it be? en-us 2022-01-29 06:42:30 UTC 2022-02-06 01:39:05 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026347914 Yes social media is a big problem that left unchecked could have the potential to be a very negative force for humanity. The algorithms building it as addictive as possible to keep as many people's attention as possible on their site can have many negative repercussions. Especially when individuals are making poor decisions in their real life because of this addiction. This is especially scary looking to our future generations as we don't fully know all of the negative effects that this will have on our kids growing up with this challenge of social media.]]> 2022-02-02 21:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026347914 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026355101 Yes I think we should be able to view social media from a different perspective than the one presented in The Social Dilemma. It's important to remember the purpose of The Social Dilemma which can be better understood when looking at the medium it is delivered in. It's meant to be an entertaining eye opening film for the masses. They don't go into the nitty gritty details of exactly what's going on because they don't think you need to know these details to understand the challenges that come from social media. I am not convinced that if I went to the sources of all of this and got into the actual details of exactly what is going on that I would come to the same conclusions. Depending on what sources you go to you might have different perspectives than that of The Social Dilemma, and I don't think that is a bad thing.]]> 2022-02-02 21:45:37 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026355101 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026356873 I think that we can all agree that something as new as social media should have continuous research on its effects on society.]]> 2022-02-02 21:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026356873 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026381176 Yes, throught out of the world we find that social media is a big problem for society if we dont manage correctly althought behind this social media there are people who is destroying all our data changing to revenue for them and that is something that is increasing as generation grow with this. At less, people can decide what kind of data wants to share to that plataform so we decide what we want. ]]> 2022-02-02 22:10:41 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026381176 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026383143 No, every person has a different perspective, poin of view. We can agree on decisions to follow the true but definetly every person has different truth behind of the general truth. However, we can deny an absolutly truth of the nature. ]]> 2022-02-02 22:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026383143 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026384442 Yes, we can. However, will be very hard becuase of different truth like the social dilema said, we cant do anything until we agree what is true. ]]> 2022-02-02 22:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026384442 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026690663 I don’t believe social media itself is a huge problem, I believe it’s what we value in social media, social media doesn’t value conversations or anything productive, we value our own self worth directly from social media, meaning people value taking selfies and wanting to get famous on tik tok dances for other people and when not everyone can then they believe they are lesser. Social media can be amazing for creators like myself as I can see other creations, tip, and tricks to better my craft but when people post themselves just to post themselves then that’s a problem.]]> 2022-02-03 03:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026690663 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026696349 We are a population of 7 BILLION people, that’s a huge number, humans can’t comprehend how many humans there are. If you have something that 99.99% of people agree with then that’s still 7 million people who don’t agree, that’s 35 Salt Lake City’s, and everyone knows the idiots are the loudest people in the room. So that 7 million feel like 3 billion and they can convince people by making them feel like the majority actually disagrees slowly eventually making 3 billion people disagree.]]> 2022-02-03 03:25:35 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026696349 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026698879 Yes you can think of it in a different way, should you? Kinda. I believe you should consider both sides, not just the bad, not just the good, weigh them both (as suicide is way more pressing than helping friends with tips) and think of its averages ]]> 2022-02-03 03:27:50 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026698879 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026781051 I think that social media is a problem in its current state with its many negative influences, the examples of which have been stated many times over. However, social media could be a more positive force if the motivations of its creators wasn't centered around methods of generating revenue. The fact that profit is the main goal of the people that run social media is what has caused the issues surrounding it. I think in the future social media could be a much better thing for us all if the forces driving it were to change.]]> 2022-02-03 04:47:02 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026781051 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026803433 Given that truth itself now depends on individual perspective, with the diversity of experience and perspective present today there almost certainly isn't any one statement we all can agree on. Given a different definition of truth, where truth is essentially the undeniable consensus, then I would say yes there is. The most likely candidate for such a truth would have to be something that stems from pure logic, which is the best tool we humans have for finding the closest thing to the truth. Mathematics is just a set of systems and statements that logically occur once you take a small set of axioms for granted, essentially if you agree on those axioms, then you must accept the rest of mathematics as truth. This universal truth is why we use math as our best candidate of displaying our own intelligence to aliens. If our choice of what to use to display our intelligence to aliens isn't the closest thing to a fundamental truth I don't know what is.]]> 2022-02-03 05:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026803433 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026807481 Certainly, I see social media even in its current state as having some upsides, whether they outweigh the bad though, in my opinion no, but a perspective that thinks the contrary is just as valid. ]]> 2022-02-03 05:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026807481 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026826640 I think it is only a problem for the people that use it.]]> 2022-02-03 05:30:20 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2026826640 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2027956972 I think that there is definitely some type of agenda, whether that is just to make more money or whatever. I don't find that it's a huge problem in my life, because I don't really use social media. But these CEO's are definitely doing everything they can to make more money.]]> 2022-02-03 17:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2027956972 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2027961655 I think we can all agree that social media shouldn't be taken lightly. There are people that carelessly give out all their information on social media and suffer from it, so it's clear that we should all use precautions when active on social media.]]> 2022-02-03 17:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2027961655 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2027966695 I think with a little common sense, social media can have its advantages. It definitely makes networking easier. I can't say that it outweighs the disadvantages, but that's one way to look at it.]]> 2022-02-03 17:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2027966695 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2028781888 Yes I do think that social media is a problem. With that being said, I think there are both negative and positive aspects of social media. It is a place where you can connect with people from all over the world and share ideas, but it is also a place where misinformation spreads rapidly and users can easily be influenced. The monetization and political agendas behind social media and its use is definitely negative and directly impacting society, but without them social media probably wouldn't exist, at least not in the way it does today.]]> 2022-02-04 03:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2028781888 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2028788697 It is hard to perfectly define truth. It can be objective in the way that not everyone experiences events the same or has the same understanding of the world, so their "truth" would be different. There is a way to get closer to the truth though. If you see a post online giving medical advice and the person who posted it is a doctor, it is going to be closer to the truth than medical advice posted by a random person. The problem is that it is becoming too easy to pretend that anything is the truth and people think that they can choose what is true based on what they see personally and what they want to believe.]]> 2022-02-04 03:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2028788697 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2028808870 The view of social media presented in The Social Dilemma is one that is very negative and although I think it is important to keep the dangers of social media in mind, it can't be the only position. Social media offers networking and connection that can't be replaced by anything else. It is also valuable just for the entertainment it provides, even if it can sometimes be distracting or addicting.]]> 2022-02-04 04:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2028808870 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2030158190 I do think that Social Media is bad in some cases and those cases are only if you make it bad for you. It depends on what you do on it, how much you are on it, and what your posting on it. ]]> 2022-02-04 21:09:54 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2030158190 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2030159035 I think that if you are going to have social media use it responsibly and don't give out personal information that you wouldn't want the world to see. ]]> 2022-02-04 21:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2030159035 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2030160710 The Social Dilemma talks about the negatives of social media and it doesn't really bring out anything positive in it. Like I said in my first post. Social Media could be a good tool if you use it in for the right purposes and make sure you use it smart. ]]> 2022-02-04 21:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2030160710 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2031059882 Social media is good and bad. It can be an amazing tool to spread awareness and express ourselves. Social media is often a expression of ourselves and often more so on social media than in person. However, it is so easy to become addicted and so focused on social media that we don't live in reality at times. We allow media to consume us in every single way to the point where we are not ourselves but a replica or something we saw. Social media is a problem if not controlled and if it's users are not educated to the threats that it can present.]]> 2022-02-06 01:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2031059882 https://padlet.com/Dr_J/u2rnlk314e70y3y9/wish/2031060948 No everyone's truth is going to be different.
