Something to Watch: ‘The Social Dilemma’
With so many restrictions on meeting in person, virtual interaction has become a large part of our lives. Zoom calls and social media are how we stay connected. We know that the screen can’t really take the place of sharing space with people. But beyond being a lackluster substitute for time spent together without the aid of technology, are there dangers we should be aware of?
The new documentary “The Social Dilemma” explores this question. Just what are we giving up by giving over so much of who we are on these platforms? The film explores the negative human impact of social networking, and offers important insights.
