How Digital (Dis)Connection Is Changing Humanity Forever
Technology can make our lives easier, faster, and connect us
But it comes at a price
Humans are changing
You see this every day online
Easy money, beautiful dreams, fake news, lies and manipulation
People are losing touch with reality
It is so easy to manipulate, to convince, and to influence
How can you tell the real from a persona someone creates?
People have split into two: the one you see online and the offline real them
As we all move towards remote work, e-dating, services and goods on-demand, and virtual lifestyles
Green-screen backdrops, face filters, and staged everything
With drivers like Google, Facebook, and Amazon rising up like Gods
A world where YouTube is an official source for news
Where one Tweet can ruin someone’s entire life
And social platforms drive teens to depression
What if we lose a grip on reality altogether?
What if we lose humanity?
I take walks in nature and that is real
