Design For The Utopia You Want, Not The Dystopia You're In • Chris Atherton • GOTO 2019

I kind of agree and disagree about the downsides of social media. The upsides especially in times of isolation like the current Corona Virus situation is that Facebook simpy provides quite often a lot of laughs and fun. For example sharing funny pictures and videos. That facebook could be used to influence elections - well US elections have always surely been about marketing budget in any case - before the Internet? Reagan who was a TV star became president which indicates that social popularity of presidents also helps. I think humans generally like to feel connected and during the current situation all forms of connection - twitter, facebook, whatsapp, zoom, skype all seem pretty critically important ot me for social well being. I am not a psychological expert but I am a keen chess player, and I also feel my own site chessworld.net plays a social part right now and I am seem record number of people on my gaming site right now - which also I feel helps provide connections between people. The downsides of any social media providing that is that they can become a paid influencer. We may be rat-like but you could say we are highly social rats. Cheers, K

this is all over the place and not as entertaining as the speaker thinks, or is it?
