I call it Big Dating because it’s like Big Pharma in the sense that they’re more interested in selling you pills than curing what’s really wrong with you.
I think this is an excellent comparison and a line I missed prior to my comment below.

Did we lose ourselves in our new devices
Yes, I think we have had our attention span significantly challenged by the immediate stimulation from our technology. I think it the rate at which ADD diagnosis is increase can be held as evidence that the constant screen time has some negative effects. However I thought the point where they discuss the way people jump from one task to another can be viewed as a beneficial element to productivity. I think there is positives in people possessing diverse skillsets and not devoting life to a specialization.

Glad You Asked.
After watching the video I do think these program problems need to be addressed ASAP before technology advances further. The longer we allow the misconstrued data to collect the data loop will become harder and harder to correct. I do think it is over looked how challenging it is to redesign programs. The testing should happen prior to launch but then they will struggle to see if it is a project worth investing their time in. I think there are some examples more problematic than others and some much more fixable than others. I think that the crossroads of technology and prejudice is a very complicated topic we need to address before it gets any more tangled.

Getting “blue-checked” is this generation’s formof existential validation, sort of the way being knighted must have felt to merchants in themid-fifteenth century. That securing this blue check requires incessant and frequentlyextreme self-disclosure, that it encourages likability, brand-friendliness, and a willingness toconform to one’s audience—none of this is mentioned
The blue check definitely carries some credibility. But jeez this author gets carried away considering their job is based on credibility and respect from similar people to these influencers.
