Chris Martin | How Social Media is Shaping Us & Healthy Practices, 160

Listen Later

Chris Martin joins Amber to discuss how social media is shaping us and practical ways we push back against its negative impacts.  They dive into his new book, Terms of Service.

How the Internet is Shaping Us Episode Questions:
  1. (5:49) Share a little of your faith journey with us.  When did you begin walking with Jesus?
  2. (11:38) In your book, Terms of Service, you write much about how the social internet has and is shaping us.  Will you share a few ways we are “servants of the social internet that was originally marketed as something that would serve us”?
  3. (19:05) One of your chapters is titled “We believe attention assigns value”.  Flesh that out for us a bit and discuss the destruction this belief is causing
  4. (24:19) What makes us continue to log on despite emerging research of social internet’s negative effects on us?
  5. (27:33) We hear the analogy “Social media is like a drug”, but you go further in saying that analogy is not as true as it could be.  Will you share your analogy and what you mean by it.
  6. (33:40) After laying out 5 ways the social internet shapes us, you share 6 ideas of where to go from here.  I am going to say those chapter titles out loud and I want you to share the first few thoughts that pop into your mind when you think about how “we can be on our way to forming the social internet more than it forms us.”
    • Study History
    • Admire Creation
    • Value Silence
    • Pursue Humility
    • Establish Accountability
    • Build Friendships
    • (45:43) As we close, speak directly to the Christian who senses the impact the social internet is having on them, but is still struggling to set limits.  How would you encourage them to take the next step?
