A shocking exposé on the reality of manipulation by social media platforms and their damaging effect on their users health, by creating addiction and dependency causing a catastrophic and damaging impact on the youth in todays society. Parents, psychiatrists and technology developers have long been warning of the damage constant participation on social media is doing to the individual. This biographic documentary about the development and use of social media platforms causing addiction, dependency and reliance on this cyber connection with their fellow humans, highlights the outcome which is robbing youth of their ability to connect, communicate and share without the aid of a social media platform to qualify their worthiness to do so. The extensive damage already done to the younger generations is highlighted in statistics relating to self-harming, depression, anxiety and suicide. At what point are we going to realise the harm this is doing to our younger generations and take steps to curtail it? Let's use technology to make our lives better, not to force us to be its subservient lab rat. Tough words I know, but once you've watched the documentary, you'll agree!
