Followers Follow Your Every Move
Black Mirror's Nosedive is a look into what out future could possibly become. While I personally find myself using social media less and less it was because I too found myself to be wrapped up in how others saw me. We have become entitled, we feel that their should be information and profiles on everyone we meet. Often even thinking people who don't have a social media presence to be strange. Social media has caused us all to not only look at ourselves through a microscope but each other as well. The word "followers" is used in countless social media sites like tumblr, instagram and twitter. Which makes sense because that is exactly what we do; follow each others every move, good or bad.In Nosedive each person the main character some in contact with checks their "score" like a linkedIn profile. The scene in which she goes to a consultant to analyze herself is unsettling. To see every mistake you make shown are a chart that rises and dips.
