📱 How Social Media Turned Us Into Performers
Back in the 1930s, people spent most of their time with real people - family, friends, and neighbors. Fast forward to 2024, and a whopping 61% of our time is now spent online.

- Instagram: showing friends your amazing life
- LinkedIn: impressing strangers with career wins
- TikTok: proving you are fun and cool
- Twitter: looking smart to everyone
We take hundreds of photos just to post one perfect one, chasing likes and views for that dopamine hit. It feels good in the moment, but it is making everyone feel worse about themselves because what we see online is not real life.
