Rewind: The Undead Internet Theory
About this episode
The episode explores the concept of the 'undead internet' and its impact on society and mental health.
Grab your phone charger, your doomscroll thumb brace, and your latest screen time report because today, we’re getting a broader understanding of why the internet doesn’t feel dead but undead, how we became social media zombies, and why we can’t stop scrolling. What is this doing to our brains- and worse, what is it doing to our futures and the next generations? Will friendships be replaced by an always flattering AI or can the internet ever going back to being a place instead of something that just exists in our phones?
