The next two episodes of iReporter will look at how we navigate the internet in a way that works for us. The first reflection from the facebook files is that we all, all of us, need a tool kit for combating the shady parts of social media. There has never been a more important point in history for us all to have a deep sense of self. And finally, there will be a few reflections on how the internet can work for us as managers and founders of companies.
The internet was one of the greatest inventions in human history. It shifted society from being geographically fragmented to globally connected. It led to the advent of social media and platform businesses. It made the supply of connection and knowledge effectively endless. But it also created a whole new set of challenges from social comparison to employee anxiety and procrastination. In this first of this two part series, I talk about how we can have the internet work for us vs. against us.
