“I am the sister in your family enactment of social media’s harms in The Social Dilemma. In real life, I am also the sister of Your Undivided Attention’s executive producer!
I can’t stand social media. Thanks to your consciousness-raising podcast, I now know that what seemed at first like a silly waste of time is actually more like an ‘Invasion of the Body Snatchers’-grade threat. As an art historian, I know there’s a direct link from Kodak’s invention of the handheld camera in the late 19th century to today’s social media culture. Guess what people started photographing as soon as Kodak made cameras accessible: themselves! I’d love to hear you explore the progression from the proto-social media environment fostered by the handheld camera to the mess we find ourselves in today. Thank you. Keep at it.”
