In this episode, we engage in a lively discussion on how social media dominates our lives so much. We begin with its origin from long-gone platforms like Friendster, leading to the rise of Facebook and the current domination of Instagram and Twitter. Social influencers, metrics, and other topics are examined along with the psychological addictions that come with our fixations with social media. Also, we explore the question: Is Google making us stupider?
