Social media will lead to polarization, and it will only recommend to you the content you are interested in. If you like conspiracy theories, big data will continue to recommend you. Jiang Junyang once said that people only believe what they believe. Undoubtedly, when a person begins to believe in a thing, and the environment intervenes in it, this impression will continue to deepen. In general, the big data of social media will block your ears, so that you can't hear other voices, or you hate hearing other voices and can't hear them. This will lead to social polarization, and it will also make individuals short-sighted. Even if you browse a lot of information, you only see the information in your area! Accept different voices and refuse to rely on thinking. In the film, starting from social media, the addictive impact on individuals and finally the impact on politics and society all reflect the pessimism about the algorithms behind social media and the pessimism about the future of mankind. However, my view on personal addiction is not very pessimistic, at least I did not realize that I have a heavy addiction to mobile phones. For people who are not important, or what I am doing that is important, the information on my phone doesn't affect me much. A day without my phone, I will not feel uncomfortable, I will have to deal with my time, but if I am asked to prove it, I will not prove it, because my life will be inconvenient without my phone. However, people tend to overestimate themselves easily, and people have narcissistic behaviors. I still need to be alert and act as I should about my mobile phone addiction. Don't let the phone interfere with my normal life, make me ignore the people around me, make me anxious, and make me short-sighted.
In the final film, I put forward my own solution to this social dilemma. From the legislative aspect, strengthen the supervision of these companies and software. After all, the original purpose of this algorithm is to make money, and the purpose of business is profit. This is also agreed by everyone, even if he will have bad consequences, but he cannot give up eating because of choking. However, I don't care about how to solve these problems, and being incapable of worrying about things outside of my ability can get people out of reality.
