The Impact of Social Media in the Digital Age

Jay Kim discusses the influence of social media in the digital age, highlighting the disconnect between intellectual knowledge and emotional responses. He explains that the disembodied nature of social media platforms makes it difficult for our bodies to navigate and respond to the curated feeds we encounter. This, combined with the tendency for humans to assume the worst about others and the best about ourselves, perpetuates comparison and contempt in online interactions. Kim emphasizes the need for intentionality and redemptive engagement when using social media, urging Christians to examine their motives and strive for fruitful, loving interactions.
