They mention the increase in social media use and the negative effects it can have, such as anxiety and depression. They also talk about a study that found a decrease in depression among those who limited their social media use to 10 minutes a day. They discuss the comparison syndrome and the unrealistic portrayal of lives on social media. They touch on dopamine and its role in the reward system, as well as the release of cortisol in response to chronic stress. They suggest cutting down on social media use and taking control of what content you see. They also mention the concept of "techno fasting" as a way to take breaks from technology.
