I would like to talk about a documentary that I watched six months ago, The Social Dilemma, which discusses social media and the technology that impacts human behavior, mental health, and society as a whole. Nowadays, tech giants like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter develop their platforms to be addictive and manipulate users by tracking their behavior on these platforms. I watched this on the Netflix platform six months ago, and I learned about this documentary on social media, where it was described as very informative. So, I decided to watch it myself. My favorite part of the documentary was the explanation of how they develop these platforms by programming algorithms that track user behavior and recommend content on their feed based on their areas of interest. I remember it well because after seeing this documentary, I became aware of the disadvantages of social media. I am now very conscious about not spending excessive time on social media, and I also recommend that other people focus more on their goals rather than spending their time on social media. This is important because it can also have negative social and political influences.
