    SPEAKING. Social Media

    Uploaded by

    Francisco Buendía Del Molino
    People often present an exaggeratedly positive image of themselves and their lives on social media, which may be more about seeking validation than genuine happiness. Sensory deprivation and digital detoxes are proposed as ways to reduce dopamine from technology use, but going cold turkey versus gradual reduction is debated for managing technology addiction. Checking phones constantly and feeling phantom vibrations are signs of overuse. It can be difficult to distinguish real charity from virtual signaling of virtue online.

    Speaking

    Do you recognize in yourself teenager-type behaviors when it comes to


    the use of the social media/smartphones?

    • People often flaunt their best side (good looks, moments of bliss and
    enjoyment, great meals, an exciting social life, etc.) online, to the
    extent that it looks like they are consistently living the high life. Are they
    fishing for compliments or does that strike you as genuine happiness?

    • Some suggest trying sensory deprivation as a form of dopamine detox.


    Does it seem like a feasible option in your opinion?

    • Would you consider trying (or would recommend that somebody try)
    digital detox?

    • What do you think of the idea of a 30-day cleanse? With technology


    addiction (not unlike other forms of addiction), do you think it is
    better to go cold turkey or to take baby steps?

    • Have you ever suffered from the phantom vibration syndrome? Do you
    sometimes feel the urge of constantly checking your smartphone?

    • How can you distinguish genuine acts of charity online from mere virtue
    signalling?
