A British book: The millennial generation finds the internet a hostile and confusing platform
British writers divided social media platforms by generations and ages and explained how these platforms affect their psychology.
Author Harriet Gibsone said that millennials, or those born in the 1980s and 1990s, find the Internet a hostile, confusing and unattractive platform.
Unlike the newer generation ZD, which has connected its life to the Internet and social media platforms.
According to the authors, millennials are bewildered by the complex algorithms of most platforms, such as Twitter and TakeTalk.
This made them feel antagonistic and described it as a game to be won by those who pretended that their lives, while unhappy, were wonderful.
On the other hand, the author noted that Take Talk is at a young age based on the humor and cynicism of the “Z” generation.
Facebook has reached a pyramid where it has been cut off from creating new features, with the author describing Twitter as a platform that spreads feelings of hostility and venom.
And the book ends with a social media game where we all play along and pretend that our lives have been infinitely wonderful, but the reality is something very different.
Psychologist Lana Kassis says:
– This book on social platforms faithfully reflects reality.
– There is no platform that can withstand a full-blown crisis, because every generation interacts and develops the tools available.
– Legacy platforms need to be upgraded to keep up with the needs of the new generation.
– Some things were also very present in earlier times, such as boasting on social occasions, including weddings, but they are now being done through new ways, which are platforms and applications, which have a great impact on the human soul.
