The dark side of social media and AI isn’t just about data—it’s about humanity. Unlike the 1980s, when life felt slower, more connected, and real, today we’re trapped in an endless scroll. Social media was sold as a tool for connection, but it's left millions feeling lonelier than ever. We compare, we consume, we chase validation through likes and views. AI algorithms know our weaknesses better than we do—they feed our insecurities, amplify our fears, and keep us addicted for profit.

Depression and anxiety have skyrocketed, especially among younger generations who’ve never known a world without screens. We’ve traded eye contact for filters, deep conversation for comment sections, and authentic joy for performative perfection. We're overstimulated, emotionally exhausted, and spiritually starved. This isn’t living—this is digital survival.

It’s not like the 80s, where joy came from real experiences, not curated ones. We’ve been hijacked by systems designed to exploit our emotions, and we’re paying the price with our mental health. It’s time we wake up, disconnect, and remember what it means to be human.
