Whether planned or not, Social Media’s prime current function is behavioral engineering at a massive scale. Most sites function as massive Skinner’s Boxes, conditioning users to behaviors desired by those who run the sites. Part of this is inevitable, but it has certainly accelerated in recent years and will continue so long as people continue to rely on such sites.

How Social Media Keeps You Anxious – Stop Watching News
I’ve been meaning to cover this topic for a long time now. A lot of research went into making this. From watching magical cat videos, keeping in touch with families and friends, easy online sign ups, promoting our businesses to consuming news, social media has already become an invincible member in our changing society, so much so that it has the power to change governments to alter our perspectives and the way we think, act and feel.
Sharing news in social media has become a phenomenon of increasing social, political and economic importance. Anyone of us can produce content, report incidents and create click worthy news stories.
Many a times, I feel like consuming news is not even a choice. It is being force fed to us globally, and with the rise of social media, it is proving to be incredibly hard to not fall into the vicious trap of click-baiting and fake news.
Be vigilant, be mindful and be aware!

Social media is addicting – practically all of us have dealt with this. Are instagram and facebook on your side? No, they are built to profit off of your need for connection, while they truly have a very negative effect on our psychology.
