    Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Jaron Lanier is one very special mind in the field of digital developments. A futurist and technologist, a philosopher of the digital era and many other things, his opinions are caustic, harsh and leave us with tremendous hits of truths about our relationship with technology and the digital life, which are there in front of our eyes, despite we seem to be unable to see them. Well, this interview is one long hour so perfect for the weekend. Lanier has strong opinions on social media which by the way are already becoming around , not necessarily coming from him, but also from sociologists, psychologists, philosophers, etc. The idea that social media as it is now is causing more harm than good, and that the best use we could have of social media now is to with it off. But, as we can't do that (or we are afraid to do so) well we should try and change how social media works, maybe in the new Internet iteration, the Web3, where social media works in a way the short and log effects of social media are not as damaging as they are now. Finally don't lose his opinions on VR, AIs, etc. Watch it full to get the big picture.
