#28 – Social Mediation    Recorded: 30/09/2020   Social media. We all use it. But is it really using us? How do we reconcile the usefulness with what we sacrifice?    Using the recent docudrama The Social Dilemma as a starting point we discuss the people (or AI!) behind social media and other digital platforms. We explore how we are being manipulated to engage, what this might mean to our mental health and how our screen time can prevent us from being productive.
