One Man Banned

Sorry for the late reply, I wasn't really following this thread Responding to something @Jokermentioned, I've felt concern over social media as well as cell phones for a while, find it really hard to believe that people at those companies don't understand what they're doing and how. Some of it is pretty much how the tobacco and fast food industries have indoctrinated children into their products before they are old enough to know. I mean there are kids who have phones, and parents who believe their kids need a phone. Staying close to what you mentioned though, I believe the cell phone companies started this, especially with things like individualized ring tones. It's shaping your behavior the way Pavlov did with dogs. Every time your phone rings it plays a sound you like, which reinforces your connection/attraction to the phone. Pretty sick. Also the phones having video games, it's own rewards/reinforcement system. I see social media as an extension of all this since most people are accessing it through their phones. Man is a social animal, perhaps overly concerned with approval and comparing him/her self to others. We've seen some of that at play here in 12oz past. People loved their tic-tacs and some people were ready to go to war if you gave them a tampon. The likes and all that other social media b.s. works along the same lines.
