These quotes sum up what the film describes:
“If something is a tool, it genuinely is just sitting there, waiting patiently. If something is not a tool, it’s demanding things from you. It’s seducing you. It’s manipulating you. It wants things from you.
“And we’ve moved away from having a tools-based technology environment to an addiction- and manipulation-based technology environment. That’s what’s changed.
“Social media isn’t a tool that’s just waiting to be used. It has its own goals, and it has its own means of pursuing them by using your psychology against you.” – Tristan Harris (former Google Design Ethicist, co-founder of Center for Humane Technology)
Glad you shared this- we watched a couple of weeks ago. Very compelling
