Episode 2: Fragmentation | Are You Paying Attention?

Why does scrolling feel like a trap, and why do our phones seem to know exactly what will pull us in? We break down how social media design and algorithms shape what we notice, how we see ourselves, and why so many of us feel more lonely, distracted, and hooked on our phones than ever before. If you’re curious about infinite scroll, digital identity, or how platforms are engineered to keep you online, this episode opens the black box. #SocialMediaAlgorithms #AttentionEconomy CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro 01:06 Part 1: Not Neutral 02:35 Part 2: Medium / Message 03:52 Part 3: Split Screen 05:23 Part 4: The “Like” Button 07:39 Part 5: The Feed 09:56 Part 6: The Self 10:59 Conclusion WEDU PBS is West Central Florida’s PBS station.
