THE SOCIAL DILEMMA – Everyone needs to see this film. It is a stark warning to all of us using any type of technology. The film weaves scripted storyline into documentary info provided by the wizards who created our social platforms and cell phone capabilities. Even though we are all somewhat aware of the workings of these platforms and the risks involved, the film provides details of exactly how social media captures our information and uses it against us. Informative, scary, depressing, and somewhat hopeful, it is well worth the hour and a half of viewing time. The genie is out of the bottle on this issue, and there is no putting it back in. We are only going to become more dependent on technology going forward. All the more reason to begin employing the tools suggested in this film now. If we do, we have a chance to combat the situation ever so slightly and protect ourselves as much as possible. Daunting though it may be, we have no choice but to try. The alternative is unthinkable. Cheers to all the tech experts who gave an honest account of our predicament (and their part in creating it) and offered encouragement and solutions as we navigate this journey together.
