Food for Thought: Why you should delete your social media accounts

 As mentioned in our PD day we will be organizing a no devises day in March. As I was unfortunately ill this weekend and could not focus on a Food for Thought, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to share this provocative interview, "Why you should delete your social media accounts." It is 10 minutes long and features the author of the book Ten Reasons For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now, Jaron Lanier. Of course many of these argument are intertwined with the intrusion of AI into our everyday lives and the collection of data about us and our behaviors.

Here is a very good radio programme RTE Radio1 and an interview with Jaron.

It is certainly something to think about.
