Sadly, in the world of dominating social media, more and more people get trapped in the "I have seen it online - it must be true" mentality. Never ending advertising by so-called influencers creates the world so appealing, yet the one that doesn't exist. We have to stay mindful internet users.

It is like never ending cognitive dissonance. We all know that social media obsession impacts us in a negative way, yet it provides such an irresistible escape from reality, that we often choose mindless scrolling over educating ourselves, which in turn leaves us feeling unfulfilled and frustrated.

The necessity of using our critical thinking as everyday consumers of media is more important than ever, in the world of ever evolving AI, and media outlets always pushing a certain agenda. We have to stay critical and use good judgement #Media180LabMonday930M
