Disconnected shines a light on the secrets and the impact that social media and technology is having on our society, culture, politics, human interactions, and behaviour.
My name is Jag Sharma - and I’ve spent the last 12 years creating, developing and executing social media strategies for a number of global brands across a variety of industries, and have witnessed first-hand the impact that algorithms, behaviour modification, negative feedback loops, ad targeting, and mass data collection have had on shaping our world in a new direction.
This podcast is all about making you aware - giving you the insight, a look behind the giant tech curtain - and allowing you to make your own fully-informed decisions on how you strategically play (or don’t play) their game.
This is not about advocating for going dark or deleting your accounts, this is about looking under the hood and getting more informed about what’s really happening to us on a societal level as result of our tech driven lives.
In each episode I’ll deep dive into a specific topic - from how social media and technology has swayed political debates, how’s it’s disrupting societies, how we are losing access to truth, how we are losing our ability for empathy, to how our behaviour is being subtly changed little by little without us even realising.
We’ll even be chatting to a number of high-profile guests along the way, discussing specific topics and seeing how they are navigating through this complex world in their professional and personal lives.I’ll be producing a new episode regularly, so be sure to subscribe to receive a notification for a new release - you can also follow me on either Instagram (@jagsharma) or add me on LinkedIn, where I’ll be conducting debates and social experiments from the discussions within the episodes.
I’d love for you to join the conversation and share your thoughts and opinions on how social media and technology is influencing our lives.
