Social media has become a central part of everyday life, and very few people with smartphones
completely avoid it. Companies, politicians, and media outlets now rely on platforms like
Instagram, X, formerly Twitter, and TikTok and promote and distribute information, highlighting
their significant social influence. In recent years, generative AI has further forward activity
on these platforms. AI-generated content is widely posted and attracts large numbers of
impressions. In September 2025, both OpenAI and Meta announced new platforms dedicated to
creating and sharing AI-generated video. However, new data suggests that social media may have
already passed its peak. According to a Financial Times analysis of GWI data from more than
250,000 people across over 50 countries, global social media usage time peaked in 2022 and has
been steadily declining since then. As of the end of 2024, people aged 16 and older in developed
countries spend an average of 2 hours and 20 minutes per day on social media, nearly a 10%
decrease compared with 2022. Although usage increased during pandemic lockdown periods,
that alone does not explain the drop, especially since overall smartphone use has risen in some
countries. The decline is driven most strongly by teenagers and people in their 20s, formerly
the heaviest users.
However, social media itself is no longer at the peak of popularity, but there is a possibility that
it has turned the corner of the decline. According to a data analysis of about 250,000 people across
over 50 countries commissioned by the research company DWI, social media usage time has peaked
in 2022 and has been steadily declining. As of the end of 2024, people over the age of 16
and older in developed countries spend an average of 2 hours and 20 minutes per day on social
media, nearly a 10% decrease compared with 2022. Although it is possible to see that the
increase in stay-at-home periods has returned, that alone does not explain the drop, especially
since smartphone use has risen in some countries. According to the Financial Times, social media
usage time has been reduced by 10s and 20s, formerly the heaviest users.
Yes, and 2022 is also the year when ChatGPT appeared.
So, teenagers in 20, people in 20, don't use social media much
than a couple years ago, seems like. Is it social media, meaning
Instagram, Twitter, not like LINE, Whatsapp doing it?
When it comes to LINE and Whatsapp and other like a app we use frequently,
it's not like a social media use. It's just using smartphones.
To contact people, right? It's like the same as using phone. Yeah. Short message. They say
there are some countries that people using more, spend more time to using smartphone itself than
before. I think it's not only like a business like for fun wise, it's more like AI usage,
I think. Does it mean people tend to use more AI than social media than before?
But we started using AI from 2022. Before 2022, we didn't have access to use like AI like in daily
life. I mean, we already have an AI, but it's from ChatGPT, right? Yeah, that's right.
People started using it. Until then, they didn't use it normally, right? Yeah. It's like Google
became JPEEL. Yeah. I wonder if everyone is saying that. Yeah. Why did it decrease?
So, one hypothesis is that people are using AI, so it took time.
And, in other articles, it's more like closed social media is popular than open social media.
I saw that, but for now, since ChatGPT, or like AI-generated pictures and movies,
my Instagram feed is showing some crazy video, crazy stuff. Seems real but unreal.
And, that's because of AI, right? I think so. Before that, there was Deepfake, but I don't think
it was recommended to me that much. I wonder if the algorithm has changed.
I wonder if it's not fun to watch this fake AI-made video over and over again.
I wonder if it's fake anyway. I wonder if it's a lie. Yeah, that's true.
I definitely, um, I can see that it's clearly AI when I see it, but for a moment,
huh? Is it real? I gotta check the comments. Yeah.
We once took the episode about artificial womb, and it says that it will be possible to have
artificial womb to make a baby in the future.
According to Germany report, we can do this, like, from now.
It was fake news?
I'm getting there.
Okay, we see some crazy information, or like, surprisingly technology-developed news on
Instagram or Twitter, and then I go to check to Google. I'm still in the digital, right?
So, I've been played in the same field.
We're getting there.
The other topic that you talk about me, um, the one day I shared the article from Instagram
that there is a mother had a twin baby, and it turned out having a different dad,
but came from the same mom and same dad.
It was real information, right?
I'm not 100% sure.
It's in digital.
Played by all the information.
In technology. If I see the mom in person, and I'm gonna ask, like,
is it true? Then I can be 100% sure, but the information from any kind of media, even a
newspaper, I can be sure 99% max, because we don't see it by our eyes.
It's so much me, like we talked earlier.
We don't want to be played by AI, video or pictures.
AI came out, and it suddenly got boring, right?
Not this business AI, but the content recommended by this feed is
most of, mostly the fake.
But seems so real, so that makes so fake, anyways.
But it's for content creator, and they have like,
merit and demerit.
But there are people who only make that kind of stuff.
Are they like,
applying the job for movie director or something?
Is that like a portfolio that, hey, I can make this level of 3D?
Like, I can make this kind of video.
Marketing is fine, but just
like,
there's propaganda that wants to confuse people, right?
Yeah, I think so.
But it's not AI, there's been fake news for a while, like this video of Trump being arrested.
Yeah, like 8 years ago, when he became president, there was a lot of fake news going around.
Like, they made people read the news in deepfake.
You don't know, right?
If you don't know if it's fake or real, you don't watch it, right?
Our current mood.
It's not worth it.
So, next.
AI.
So, AI.
The story of AI.
Um...
2020
We talk about
I don't know if it's true.
Of course, if the person has their own Instagram account, and they're saying it from there, it's real, but
I don't know if there was any news or something like that.
Yeah.
Like fake news.
There's a lot of AI-generated disasters.
But everyone knows, so they don't use it anymore.
I think everyone knows, but I don't think the older generation knows.
I don't know.
So, what's gonna happen?
We're gonna use some kind of app.
The app will see if this is AI or this is real.
It's gonna be really hard.
You know, there's a fact-checking site.
Like, is this information real?
But you've been playing digital still.
Still.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know if I'm going to the library.
I have to ask a smart person.
Everyone has that access.
Then everyone watches TV again.
I'm a human being.
In the end, it's a world where only humans can be trusted.
It's a world where only humans can be trusted.
It's a world where only humans can be trusted.
It's a world where only humans can be trusted.
But if it's deepfake, you can't even see through it.
It's a world where only humans can be trusted.
But, like us, it's like a normal normal person's stream.
It's not like, I'm going to record it now, I'm going to read the script.
AI can't mimic us.
We can't read kanji.
If we can reproduce this imperfection, it would be amazing.
I don't think we can.
They can't imitate us.
Because we're not perfect.
That makes us perfect.
Yeah, yeah.
Makes us real human.
and most of the people involved have seen a significant increase in productivity.
In the expert survey before the experiment,
it was predicted that the development speed of AI would increase by an average of 40%.
In fact, after the experiment,
participants felt that AI was 20% faster.
However, when the METR research team analyzed the actual workload,
it was 20% slower than the group that didn't use AI.
The researchers were shocked.
The co-author of the research paper, Nate Rush, said,
Nate Rush said,
No one expected this result.
We didn't even think it was possible that the work would slow down.
This is one of the research papers.
Wow.
We don't do coding, but
What is coding?
Making a website, making an app, designing the background.
Engineer.
It's not that it didn't get faster.
There's a reason for that.
The most advanced AI can do coding work that human developers need for about an hour.
So why did AI lower the productivity of developers like the results of the research?
The answer is in the gap between ability and reliability.
AI already has the ability to do a lot of work,
but it is difficult to carry out tasks with consistency and accuracy required in the business of the real world.
In other words, even the most advanced AI cannot avoid small mistakes and misunderstandings of instructions.
In the end, it is necessary for humans to carefully check and correct.
According to the analysis results released by METR in March,
AI can only properly manage tasks with half the probability,
and this alone is not practical.
This gap is the biggest obstacle when incorporating AI into the business.
This is exactly what happened in this research.
Developers spend a lot of time verifying and correcting the code generated by AI,
and as a result, there were many cases where it was faster to write it yourself.
We experienced exactly the same in the previous episode.
Yeah, we took like five times, four times?
Three times shooting, but a lot of summarized data from the book into the chat GPT,
and then came out in the false information.
So, to put it simply, we are lazy to make summarized by ourselves 100%.
So we put AI in the middle, but at the end, we got total different information,
but it seems so real, because they combined the information, seems like real.
So, in the end,
The fact that the final check has to be done by a human,
means that it was faster to do it yourself from the beginning.
Theoretically.
Theoretically.
Don't lie to the AI.
Just the facts.
Don't add new expressions or anything else just based on what's in there.
Just sum it up.
But I've been skeptical now.
So, I put in the instructions and put it out.
In the end, I looked at it one by one,
I looked at the original one,
I looked at this name again,
I looked at whether this book is real,
and while I was doing it, I thought it would be better to say it myself.
So, even if I ask the AI if it's true,
it doesn't make any sense, because this guy is doing it.
Because he only says things that look smart,
and it looks real,
but when you look at it, it's completely different.
There are some tips that you can't use,
like don't lie to the AI from the beginning.
Even if I tell him to do this and that,
in the end, he's lying.
But for now, their ability is like this,
but do you think they will be developed in a few years?
They won't make any mistakes.
But we have to check.
In the end.
And also,
Google is going to look for it by itself,
so I think it's real.
For example, on a proper website,
with proper information about the book,
you can tell it's real,
but we're still being played in digital.
Right?
Even the information about the book,
if you want to know if it's written in a single line,
you have to read the book.
Even if it's copied,
someone might be messing with it.
Because of the AI,
it makes me skeptical.
Right?
Before the AI,
I trusted Google more than now.
But more and more,
there are too many fakes,
I can't even trust Google.
So I went to the Gollum Naha Public Library.
Right?
Yeah.
I asked people there.
But there,
I took pictures,
scanned,
and finally,
I brought a document.
You can become an enemy.
Right?
No matter how advanced you are,
you have to check.
So it's meaningless.
It's meaningless,
we can't save time.
For some specific task,
I think it will be very useful.
To make an email,
contents,
you can read it.
I think it's good for customer service.
When you don't know the correct Japanese,
you can write it carefully.
It's not about searching something.
It's about the ability to search something.
I'm good at combining existing information.
Right.
I'm not good at finding something new.
But normally,
I just bring the book I'm writing.
But
Do you understand?
Make it up something.
Right.
I combine elements,
so it's hard to search more.
I see.
You can search it on Google.
Does it exist?
Right.
It's like a chig-hug.
If you say,
I'm sorry.
You become a fool.
You are a fool.
You were played.
By precious time.
You say,
According to...
You are a fool.
Do you understand?
I've been played.
But that should be good.
To create images.
And movies.
Because
There is no picture or fake.
News videos are fake.
That's why visualizing content is popular.
There is no lie or truth.
You put your face into some dancers.
You make them dance.
You are going to be like a movie character.
Everyone plays with that.
Right.
Have you ever done that?
Putting your face.
I did it a long time ago.
Like Snapchat?
But
I talked with her earlier.
When it comes to wedding.
We do photo shooting.
When we release new venues.
Design.
I saw some videos that created
incredible, amazing
venue decoration.
I've never seen.
My decoration team said
we should make this.
But I knew it was AI.
That means we don't have to make
any promotion video or picture anymore.
But
now we can figure out
it's fake or not.
But when it comes to weddings.
People want to do photo shooting
to make some memories.
Like in a photo or video.
That's why we make this decoration.
If we can make it with AI.
They don't have to pay for all the decoration.
At the end of the day.
So they will just get the digital.
If they just want to get the digital.
You can use it for pictures.
Experience wise, never.
They don't have to come
to the venue or whatever.
They just send you a picture
of their faces and they put
generated AI.
If you don't have time and money
you just can make photos of that.
And send it to your parents.
Something like that.
It's not impossible.
If that's possible then
they can get married with
anyone they want.
Like an idol.
Like a celebrity.
You can take a commemorative picture
and it's real.
You can do that too.
Content creators
are
pros and cons.
I've seen some
app contents
in Instagram.
Like using their own picture.
Putting the different
movie or something.
But I always think
what kind of app is that?
Like what country
they came from.
But you send your
personal picture to them, right?
Yeah.
You should be more
worried about using your
personal information.
Will AI be abused someday?
Abused...
If they're just living normally
I don't think it matters.
But like
normally
I can google you
and this picture will show up.
And it's you.
Normally
it shows up in your level.
It's different when you're streaming
but it shows up
when you're not streaming.
Thinking about it
it's scary.
It's normal.
So you don't have to be
scared.
I think secretive people
are cool now.
I always think that.
Like I don't have any
social media.
If they have it, they don't post
at all.
You only can call me, not text.
Yeah.
People like that
look normal.
Yeah.
Most of the people who use it
are friends and normal
but when you see people
who don't use it
you don't like them.
It's like you're living in a real world.
Yeah.
I get it.
Like I said before,
when you're in a real world
with social media
there's a gap.
I think everyone has it.
But it's gone.
Yeah.
But using AI
I think I improved my judgment.
Judgment.
It's not like
I'm judging you.
It's like
what do you think?
You're asking for an opinion.
It's not a yes or no question.
It's like
gathering your thoughts.
When you use it
you can be objective
because you're AI.
But gathering your thoughts
is
useful
for me.
Sometimes.
Because it came from you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I often hear
that it hurts here.
It hurts like this.
I get that.
Now I take
the words about
body condition.
You should go to hospital
if you have these symptoms.
Like this.
But
maybe next month
I won't be able to believe it.
That makes you worry more.
I'll be like, is this real?
And then I'll google it again.
It's definitely
going to be like this.
It's better not to do it.
Yeah.
For example
I got allergic to a child
and made him eat this.
I should go to hospital right away.
Yeah.
But when I see my kid
I don't think she needs to go to hospital
right now.
That's what I think.
I feel like
I'm being abused.
Because
doctors and
computers
shouldn't take responsibility.
Then
you only make suggestions
that come to your mind.
Like, if you're worried
you should think about
the worst case scenario
and go to hospital.
Everyone says that.
If you
seriously think about that
even a little thing
like what to do if you die
will come to your mind.
But
when you think
too much
it's usually with your parents.
I see.
You don't have to worry about your parents.
Yeah.
My partner is the same age as me.
It depends on the person's personality.
The more information I can get
the more likely it is
that we'll get it right away.
Then
if I'm worried
I'll just go to the store.
You know what I mean?
If it happens
I'll be like, Minami's right.
You know,
the generation we live in
is full of skepticism.
If you research a lot
and get some knowledge
you'll be worried.
But
if you're with people
who aren't digital
you'll be able to judge
based on the real situation.
Yeah.
You don't have to worry about it
but just look at the situation.
Basically.
Do you get it?
It's easy to understand.
Let's say we're moving.
We can go anywhere
with Google Maps.
But my parents
have to drive so many times
to learn the roads.
They have to remember
where to go
and where to turn.
They have to remember
while driving.
But in the past
it was like this.
It was like,
I can teach you how to use Google Maps
but it's hard.
If I had to choose
I'd go around
and go where I know.
It makes you feel safe.
Yeah.
I thought it was amazing.
I think it's because
we have time
to spend
so we don't get depressed.
Yeah.
Plus they are
skeptical
to those technologies
from the get-go.
We grew up
with this smartphone
so we kind of
know what kind of
app
we can trust.
I've never been lied to
about Google Maps.
But
traffic information
like
you're not seeing that.
You just see the
red line. Okay, this is
a traffic area. I trust them
because I know
because I used that road before
so many times.
But they can lie to us.
So in the end
we believe in the
sense of ethics
as humans.
You don't die in a traffic jam
so it doesn't matter
but you can
abuse it.
For example, you can abuse war.
There's an attack here
or a riot here.
If you combine it well
and brainwash people
you can get bad results.
So it's important
to think about what to do
in the end.
Because war
in Okinawa
like our grandparents
that survived from the battle
of Okinawa
they had like
one or two information
like where they should
go and hide.
And that was like 50-50.
And then
fortunately my grandparents
parents, family
choose to go to north.
That's why they could survive.
But if they choose like south
or the west side
I think they didn't survive.
It has nothing to do with social media.
But in the era of Minami
if there was
something like war
or something related to life
how much do you believe
in digital information?
You should have
sixth sense
to survive.
People
even in the world of mouth
those people
might be talking about
digital information.
I don't know if it's true
so if you think
it's more difficult
you should walk a lot.
That's right.
Always observe the city.
Well
the quality of believing
will increase.
The range might get smaller.
But searching, searching, searching
if it gets really
weird
if you get confused
decide on one thing
and search
feel
find out.
That's true.
Information is the way
It really is.
AI is making it even weirder.
In addition to AI
if AI
spreads
you might get fired
from your job.
I don't know
about that now
but
AI related companies
are going bankrupt
and AI infrastructure investment
is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
In the background
AI is supposed to
dramatically increase
labor productivity
and boost corporate profits.
But at the same time
AI is not doing as expected
in the real world.
Tech companies
investing in AI
don't seem to be able to
recover their investment.
AI companies
have been
looking for
evidence of
unemployment loss
by AI.
According to
Sarah Eckhart
and Nathan Goldschlag
AI is the most
susceptible to
job loss
for construction workers
and fitness trainers.
Instead of
It turned out that the rate of unemployment has increased by three times the rate of unemployment.
Software developers, but if you go back to the story of coding,
When they're using AI to code, their productivity went down.
So that's why they have to hire more engineers.
So there's no way they're going to go unemployed, right?
Because in the end, humans are going to check it.
Why do employees and fitness trainers go unemployed?
This has nothing to do with AI.
According to recent analysis, the rate of unemployment of people who have nothing to do with AI has increased.
So it's not that AI doesn't care.
On the contrary, it was said that it was influenced by AI.
So it's not like people aren't being hired?
It hasn't changed.
So unemployment from AI hasn't really happened?
That's right.
But just by increasing efficiency, people are needed.
The efficiency hasn't gone up either.
The efficiency hasn't gone up.
Does that make sense?
That's what you're trained for.
Not people, but the heart to doubt the machine.
I think there are times when idiots become more and more idiots.
If you don't become skeptical and just swallow it, it's no good.
Of course, it depends on the business whether the productivity has gone up or not.
There is an extra article that says that AI is just a tree that has increased productivity.
There are other possibilities other than the AI bubble collapse.
Even if AI tools don't improve productivity,
it's a scenario where companies can expand the introduction of AI by machine and trend.
MIT economist Dan Asemoglu said,
It is said that a few percent of the work should be done by AI so that middle and high-ranking employees and senior managers can convince the upper and lower branches of management.
I've heard this story many times from companies.
Even if high-ranking companies don't actually increase their productivity,
they may be mistaken for being made more efficient by AI,
which may lead to a reduction in employees and a decline in employment.
In the research of METR,
it is believed that AI has made itself productive, just like developers.
As a result, there is a possibility that the unemployment rate will rise without real productivity improvement.
At first glance, it seems impossible,
but in fact, something similar to this scenario has happened in the past.
Computer scientist Carl Newport pointed out in his book, Super Input.
Since the 1980s,
by the spread of tools such as computers, e-mails, and online calendars,
knowledgeable workers were able to process their own communications and set up meetings.
As a result, many companies have reduced secretaries and typists.
However, conversely,
high-ranking professional employees have a huge amount of time to create e-mails,
and they have a huge amount of time to set up meetings,
which has greatly reduced the productivity of their original work.
Companies have no longer have to hire more people to do the same work.
In the subsequent research,
among Fortune 500 companies,
companies that had a breakdown in the balance of personnel led by computers
were clearly paying 15% more paychecks than necessary.
Newport also pointed out that
e-mails were a technology that made you feel productive,
but in fact, it was the opposite.
I'm worried that AI will follow the same path.
Wait a minute.
Didn't you say e-mails?
In the case of e-mails,
calendars,
and other functions such as
creating a schedule,
if you delete the person who does the job,
typists, etc.
In the end, you have to do everything yourself,
and you can't divide it,
so there are more things to do.
You have to multitask,
and you have to pay more.
So maybe it would have been better
if there was one more person
who specialized in this.
That's what I thought.
I agree.
I've heard of meetings
where people you don't know
come in and
everyone declines.
That would be a hassle.
It's a hassle,
and it's traditional.
It's traditional.
In other words, it's OL.
It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman,
but people who work as assistants
have become old-fashioned.
That's why
I bought a good computer
and put a Google calendar
on my own
from when I was a freshman
to when I was a junior high school student.
I set up meetings efficiently
and even went out for drinks.
But it's better to have an assistant.
You don't have to think about it.
There are people in the gym
who do just that,
and they don't want to
succeed.
They just want to do the gym work.
Yes, but it's okay.
It's like that.
It's pretty common in the region.
In Okinawa,
there are people
in the gym like moms.
And
the old men
who are standing on top
can't do anything.
That's annoying,
but in a way,
they are able to work.
I guess they can concentrate
on the work
they are given.
So just because productivity
has increased,
stress has also increased.
The volume
of things you can do
has increased,
and productivity has increased.
It's different.
Productivity
means you can do things
faster.
In the end,
it's a matter of
how you think.
Is it better to use tools?
But instead,
you have to pay a high salary
to do it alone.
It's a matter of investing
in AI or in people.
Before,
it was e-mail.
But
no matter what
high-tech AI technology
you put in,
people can't reduce it.
You can choose
to reduce it,
but by reducing it,
people who have become
really happy
can reduce it.
It's like
incorporating machines.
You can reduce
the number of people
by incorporating machines in factories.
When it comes to AI,
it's a matter of
intelligence versus intelligence.
You mean robots?
Yes.
They can reduce
human rights.
And self-regulation.
Self-regulation.
I feel that
productivity is increasing.
It's increasing, right?
But the stress of people
going shopping is increasing.
It's increasing, right?
You have to carry it yourself,
put it in a bag,
calculate it,
break the register,
and call the staff.
Self-regulation
is a supermarket that is easy to register.
But regular 3A
and Kanehi are all self-regulation.
But
the staff
will definitely be there.
And those people
will say,
thank you,
will you go to Waripashi?
This is completely
unmistakable,
and even if an error occurs,
you can fix it.
I don't know if
it's easy to register,
delicious,
there's no reason to go there.
That's right.
That's pretty important
in a supermarket.
Communication.
Like a local mom vibe
stuff.
I don't know.
I like it.
But
if it's a big company,
does it mean that you can
collect the funds in the end?
Or
is it important to appeal
like now?
But overall,
AI is not effective.
Like we assume.
At this point,
at the time of 2025,
how do you use it?
If we learn
how to use AI more,
then we can use it
in a more effective way.
We don't reduce the people's
power, but
we
use AI
to
make it faster.
Instead of reducing
the number of people,
people are increasing efficiency.
It's the same thing.
That's what everyone
originally thought.
But it means that
we leave it to AI too much.
Yeah.
I mean,
it's e-mail.
It's too late
to know this fact.
Like
it's natural.
For example, people who draw with paper
think it's analog.
But actually,
it doesn't matter if it's analog or digital.
It's you who
want to make it happen.
I mean,
us.
We trust digital too much.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I think it depends on things.
Of course.
E-mails and calendars
are better
if you don't use them.
You can't write letters.
You can contact people right away.
It's better
if you don't call people.
I don't want to do that.
That's good.
But I think
AI as a tool to research
is not very popular
recently.
When you research
travel,
like cheap flights,
you can't find it
unless you find it yourself.
There's no certainty.
Yeah.
AI researches
where to go
and when to rest.
And it says,
don't lie.
If you do that everyday,
you can do it really fast.
But if it's just a normal person,
and you google it,
will it change?
It won't.
It won't change,
and you have to
do it.
AI looks like
it's all done by machines,
but the employees working behind the scenes
are working really hard.
I see.
It's hard.
Maybe humans are working behind the scenes.
So sci-fi movies
won't happen yet.
Yeah.
Like Akane said,
there should be evolution of robots.
Yeah.
The human body is
getting more and more
flexible.
Maybe there will be
more robots
for nursing
and restaurants.
Yeah.
Robots for restaurants are amazing.
I think that Heisen robot
is tired.
I know it's a robot,
but
when I go to the bathroom,
it stops automatically.
It's really smart.
It's like
a car.
Automatic driving
of a car
might be scary,
but
it's convenient.
But it definitely won't change.
Electric cars
won't change either.
Driving
that only you can believe in
will cost your life.
Yeah.
So it's digital.
You possibly
gonna be played
by digital.
If the one controlling
is an electronic device,
you can't tell.
It's super smart.
You can't tell
if it's an engineer or not.
Yeah.
Let's go back to cars.
Older cars will be more popular.
Yeah.
People will
want to feel it.
If you push the engine
like this,
it's like
the engine is on.
If you push the accelerator
like this,
it's super quiet.
It's like
you don't feel like you're driving.
It's more like
the sound of the engine.
It's rattling.
Yeah.
I know I'm moving,
but I couldn't talk.
I think it's important
to feel
like you're controlling
everything.
Your Google map,
mom vibes.
Okay.
I'll say one more thing.
Um...
Wearable
devices
I think it's really good.
Like what Akane said.
Everyone
knows that.
But it's scary
if you can't do it.
You have to be determined.
You have to make it happen.
You can't just leave your phone.
I use it at work
so if I know it's a day off
I don't have to see it.
I don't have to worry about it.
I don't have to worry about it.
I think it's super healthy.
When I was abroad
and playing
I didn't have to see it.
It's good.
I think.
And
you can leave it
at work
and delete it later.
It's like Instagram.
You can take a break.
Yeah.
It's hard
to ban Instagram.
It's work.
For Akane
Instagram is a tool for work.
Yeah.
For my job, Instagram is not a must.
That's the only
tool to connect people.
You, right?
For you.
Can I use LINE?
I have friends
who contact me on Instagram
but I don't have to
contact them.
You don't think I'm dead, right?
People who think I'm dead
know LINE.
If you have something
you want to talk about,
you can LINE.
Some close people
tell me their numbers.
Do you have a store on Instagram?
I use Google Maps and Instagram.
I have more Google Maps now.
Of course I use it.
For example,
we have a couple of
Instagram accounts, right?
Iyasasa account, my account,
my other job account.
For example, my account is completely
stopped.
You can search your account
on Iyasasa's Instagram, right?
You don't have to follow them.
You can search for a store.
I think it's better to
do it somewhere.
Or
delete
past posts.
So that
new people won't be able to see
my old version.
People who
use Instagram and who don't use
Instagram
are different, right?
What?
I feel like all kinds of people are different.
Parents?
Parents are the same.
In the end,
addicted to Instagram people,
their goal is
taking good photos and videos.
So at the moment,
I don't feel like I'm having fun.
100%.
There are people like that.
People who want to enjoy
those moments and
people who want to leave
good shots.
It's completely different.
The way the program is set up.
So even if we go out to play together,
I feel like I'm only worried about
the photos.
Weddings are
something to be left behind.
I'm just asking a free planner
to do it for me.
I'm thinking about the location
and the fashion,
so I know there are people like that.
But I feel like...
Even if it's not a wedding?
Even if we're eating together?
And we're only taking photos?
Even if we go out to play together?
Yeah, yeah.
I get it.
It's not fun.
I think it's half and half for women.
The type you want to leave
and the type you don't care about.
Some people take photos,
but others don't.
But like, the type you don't care about.
Like my brother.
Never uses Instagram.
And the other type is...
He's always on the phone.
He doesn't even reply to my messages.
He's on the phone.
He's on the phone with his friends.
It's like a face-to-face.
There are people like that.
There are people who are only real.
So I don't think people like that
I don't use Instagram, but
there are a lot of people who use women.
It's not like a journal.
It's not like you want to
increase the number of followers
by reporting to your family.
It's not like that.
People who use 200-300 people
are like that.
If it's more than that,
it's like a desire for approval.
It's like that.
But recently,
Minami-chan used to
take a lot of pictures and
take a lot of pictures.
You don't do it at all, do you?
I don't do it too much.
It's like I didn't take all of them.
I wonder why.
It doesn't matter.
Because when you see...
I wonder why it doesn't matter.
But when you see
a beautiful dessert
like
you've never seen it before
like a humongous
parfait or something like that,
you take pictures, but
you don't take pictures
of ordinary life.
I don't feel it's special.
Or, it's not worth
to post something to let people know
randomly.
It's useless to
let them know.
Let them know.
A humongous parfait.
It's a picture, but
it's been about two hours.
Do you understand?
I think I'll do it.
If I'm conscious.
It's another status like
the people who don't post anything
means they live their world
means they have
more high quality of life
means they enjoy
their lives
It's another status like
you know
hidden their secret
beautiful life
That's what it means.
So, people
posting
the stuff
they're not hiding, right?
They're not hiding, but their life is
so-so.
You know what I mean?
It looks amazing, but when I
meet them in person, they live like
normal.
But some people who don't
post anything, but they have like a special
lives
It's more
real and more
what is it...
curious.
I knew it.
I knew it.
The sensitivity is going up, right?
I thought you meant that.
Minami said that.
Like, um...
The beauty that you can't
post anything.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, um...
Um...
What happens to us is in between
us, right?
But you gotta
tell to everyone?
And then
people will give
you back in a positive reaction
like, hey, congratulations.
I hope you have fun.
It's not in between
us anymore.
We share everything.
You don't have to be offended.
You don't have to be offended.
No, no.
I mean,
the other side.
It's just the two of us.
It feels special.
No matter how you think about it.
But everyone
is on a date.
You want to post
only a part of it, right?
It's not like, yay, the two of us.
It's like,
I'm in a really nice hotel today.
Yeah, yeah.
I know that, but
I used to do it, and I do it sometimes.
But recently,
it's so special moment,
I'm not gonna post.
That's the kind of choice
I've made.
I'm not gonna share, like, my life.
When you meet
some people, then you can tell
your secret story.
Like,
you can tell them with words.
Like, I went to this place the other day,
and something happened.
And it's two close persons only.
