The main issue that stands up to me is how much social media affects the way people view themselves.  In middle school, I had a really close friend and she always worried about how other students looked at her. One day this boy made up a bad rumor about her. This caused her to fall into a deep deep depression. She stopped going to school, her parents had to have her supervised because she harmed herself. During my freshman year in high school, she ended up committing suicide. Throughout the documentary, Tristan Harris made constant real-world connections. The idea that he thought as far as trying to find a way to make things less addictive sticks out to me. Compared to others that kept pushing the idea of money. For example, Tim Kendall mostly spoke on the fact that his focus was to create the perfect model that will bring in attention. His addiction started to affect his relationship with this wife(bringing his phone to the bed).

Recently I have lost interest in my social media. Most of the time I’m posting on my Instagram story and Snapchat. But now I deleted my Snapchat and Facebook. My overall screen time used to be almost 16 hours A DAY! Recently my screen time has been 3-4 hours a day. The last thing I really want to work on is analyzing my sources. I need to stop believing just 1 source and living off of that. Because it’s a true fact that the content that we see on our phones is based on the content we put interest on a daily basis. Of course, this documentary was manipulating me. Netflix is a monthly subscription of mine, they take my money! The same way in the video they spoke about how we never know what’s true. Yes, I did put two and two together at times throughout the documentary but it was never an “omg” moment. I viewed it as “why all of a sudden they are telling us these things that you guys tried to keep hidden for quite a while”? To simply get attention as Tristain Harris explained. ATTENTION=MONEY
