It coincides with some of the themes in a "A Brief History of Today" I read before, and it is also the author's view that the development of contemporary technology is facing an unprecedented crisis compared to the more lagging human nature. The first half aims to explain the sticky design of various social media to users, especially the youth groups with relatively low cognitive and judgment skills, making them addictive. The entire industry operates under a huge business model and lacks market supervision. Under such circumstance, it has eroded the lives and even the ideology of the vast majority of users, and further induced extreme behaviors, which led to the impact on society and politics in the second half of the documentary. In my opinion, the breakthroughs in the ideological spirit of the Axial Age of Humanity and the emergence of substantive technology brought about by the Industrial Revolution are carried forward through the business operation model, and the original intentions are all positive. Combined with the current situation of social media's backlash against users, the bad thing is that we pay too much attention to the development of artificial intelligence but ignore the improvement of human self-awareness, and the only thing is for economic and political needs; the bad thing is this market operation mode, this is the more The capital of the two groups in the two-eight rule is the capital; what is bad is the inability of the backward legal system to control such an advanced industry. However, the ship has turned around. We urgently need self-restraint and awakening, and improve self-awareness and judgment and thinking ability to suppress the growing natural stupidity of human beings in the artificial intelligence ecological environment. Only in this way can huge mass pressure erupt, and this industry will Reining in the precipice, there will be no more isolated individuals, groups of extremist groups of opposites, and turbulent societies with divisions and tensions.

    A very good documentary template, through the interpretation of real scenes, the reproduction of animation parts, the materialization of virtual algorithms and other intuitive and direct methods, making the film's point of view more acceptable to the audience. Let's talk about its opinions. Although a small number of opinions are open to question, on the whole, the narratives of various former tech giants still have a very shocking effect. After all, even they themselves are aware of the existence of the problem, and they have given their own opinions. The solutions, among which "the laws are too backward in technology" and "the collection of user privacy taxes" are thought-provoking. Every generation has problems that every generation needs to face, and there are problems that cannot be solved by themselves, but this is not a reason for us to lie down and let the times whistle. With people who shout and voices of doubt, it is possible to improve, right?

    Smartphones have evolved into the third hand of human beings, constantly testing human weaknesses. Whoever has an easier time looting their attention is more likely to dominate and control life. Persist in reading, think independently, judge calmly, guard your beliefs, be alert to the information cocoon, and avoid letting technology override yourself.
