> ‘Girls sleep with their phones and react to every notification.’ Maybe it’s just me, but I worry about the chance syncopations of external stimulus and internal emotions mediated by social media. I worry about judgment of cause and effect over social media when constantly connected. And when you’re emotionally effected your threshold to be effected by those judgments is reduced. I can’t give an example, except that the examples are everywhere. I grew up in the 80s, and 90s. So I take much of the gamification of Mobile Apps with a grain of salt. I grew up with anonymous online personas, and I think that lead to a healthy skepticism of people’s intentions on the Internet. I jealously guard my Personal Information—-It’s an auto filter in my brain now. You know what a ‘hustle’ is when you meet someone on the street—distraction misdirection and manipulation of your desires. So I have my own idea of how the ‘Internet world works’, and I can’t imagine how to describe it to a youth who doesn’t share my belief all of the Internet is manipulating your judgement. You have to selectively decide what your willing to be hustled by, because it’s fun, and when to say enough.
