I'll admit it: this post is incredibly timely for me. I recently watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix, a docu-drama that explores the potentially addictive qualities of social media. Considering I spend 3+ hours a day on Instagram, I was already all-too-familiar with the habit-forming nature of social media apps. As a result of watching the film, I immediately deleted the Instagram app from my phone — but not my computer.

There's a fairly obscure album by a guitarist named Duck Baker called There's Something for Everyone in America.

The events of 2020 disrupted the status quo for many industries, but few have been hit as hard as those that rely on face-to-face interactions and in-person experiences. Museum visits are mostly on-hold, live entertainment (e.g. concerts) are a no-go and sporting events are nearly shut out to anyone who isn’t a player. As a result, brands have accelerated their digital transformation and realized the impact of social media on customer experience.

You’re experiencing slight pain in your chest. So you visit a general care physician who performs a series of quick tests. Based on the results, they offer you general advice, but in the end, they refer you to a cardiologist to look into the issue in more detail. This is a fairly common practice in medicine. You start seeing a general practitioner, and when things go beyond their expertise, you go to a specialist who has the knowledge as well as equipment to handle your situation better.
