Part 4/11:
Julia highlights a concerning societal trend: the loneliness epidemic exacerbated by technology and social media. She traces this back to changes in digital architecture, particularly the infinite scroll, designed intentionally to keep users hooked and consume endless content. This manipulation dulls senses, fosters dependence, and hampers genuine human connection. From her personal experience with her children—especially her 11-year-old daughter—she observes the detrimental physical and emotional effects of excessive screen time, including dark circles and fatigue. She advocates for more control and mindfulness in how we engage with screens, urging viewers to be aware of these traps.
