How Does Media Shape Human Development? 📺⚡️🧠

In this episode, Justin and Mattimore explore how media consumption of all forms (TV, Movies, Video Games, Audio, News, Social Media, VR/AR) impacts the course of human development. Specifically, we discuss:

• How algorithms determine what people talk and car about

• How TV is giving way to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube + others

• Why people are spending more and more time consuming media

• How audio consumption is shifting from traditional radio to podcasts

• Why social media, and social stories, are growing the fastest of all

• How "immersive gaming" is different, and what that means for society

• Why content is still king. And why it's not a substitute for "Real Life"

Also discussed are the questions: "Will ad-revenue models continue to push people toward the ideological extremes?" "Will our data continue to be harvested and sold to the highest bidder?" "Will fake news become indistinguishable from real news?" "What would a better alternative be?"

As always, Mattimore and Justin end the episode by delving into the worst case, best case, and most likely scenarios for The Future of Media.
