Our goals from this activity was to raise awarness on how the social media are affecting our lives both in a positive but also negative side. By looking at this documentary, where former employees were showing the behind the scenes of such companies, we wanted to raise a dialogue and confrontation about the "dependence" of the people on social media. At the end, we wanted to share the opinions and suggest among us what are the possible and best way to improve our daily lifestyle, looking for a more healthier and sustainable change over time.
Nowadays almost every single person in the world uses at least one social media and, even though we do not like to admit this, we are being affected from them. There is nothing wrong on using them, but abusing them to the point that we are not able anymore to distinguish the reality and fiction is dangerous. By watching this documentary, we wanted to raise awarness of this side effect, understanding how these companies are trying to "control" our preferences with the algorytmhic system. Our goal wasn't to scary the people, but to "open their eyes" on these aspects, having a better insight for then discussing together. The objective of the conversation was to find possible solution on how to be able to coexist social media and normal life, without having negative drawbacks on the mental health (such as dependence of social media and so on).
