Description

Is the internet really ruining everything, or are we just looking at it wrong? Ruined By The Internet? explores how social media, AI, and technology are shaping society, culture, and modern life; including how we think, behave, and connect - whether we want them to or not. From internet culture to the psychological and human impact of tech, we look at the digital world not as a set of products, but as the environment we all live in. Through conversations with leading experts from around the world, we seek to uncover the true casualties behind today’s biggest questions: How is social media changing us? Is AI reshaping human behaviour? And what are the real consequences of our very online lives? Help us investigate ourselves at https://www.ruinedbytheinternet.com/survey/ Let us know what to look into at https://www.ruinedbytheinternet.com/ Support the show at https://buymeacoffee.com/rbtishow
