Joy explores what it means to be on social media and how to remain agile as the platforms and algorithms constantly change. What must we do to uphold our privacy and how can we still share online - understanding the whys, hows and best practice.

There has never been so many synethic entities on tech that have so quickly shaped our consciousness, society and amplified extractive qualities. Does it leave humans and companies more vulnerable?

Why it is important to cultivate your deep practice, your thoughts and is outsourcing your brain to LLMs like ChatGPT fraught with problems.

To truly understand humans, do we need to show up in person and build connections rather than rely on flawed tech feeds, biased algorithms and judgement based innacuracies as people outsource their humaness to digitally prompted avatars, feeds, thinking and auto suggestions.

How does this impact our potential connections, recruitment, opportunities and relationships?

An important quickbite to think about where you might be in this evolution of our selves and why we might need to come out of our shells in a post covid world, to share the very best of our talents, gifts and experience in real life.

Will this humanness rise in the next lexicon of socials as we navigate a synthetic future?

Be open to the experience and see if peacocking is a good strategy in widening your network.

Mostly enjoy the speakers, understand their delivery, discern and take away new insights and understandings.
