Do you remember life before social media? Sometimes it is tough to recall such a time when iPhones, Facebook and Instagram weren't a normal part of our daily lives. But as these platforms and media have become entrenched as staples in our everyday lives, it is increasingly important to pause and reflect on the impact they have on us. The recent Netflix docudrama, The Social Dilemma, explores our connection to social media and our electronic devices. Dr. Anna Lembke, a Stanford psychiatrist featured in the docudrama, joins Preconceived to discuss how social media has become an addiction that plagues many of us in society.
