This episode of Black Mirror is one of my personal favorites. It is on a different level of disturbing. It is painful to watch Lacie struggle with maintaining a superficial version of herself to advertise to the world. The world she lives in essentially judges everyone by how others react to them. This is incredibly psychologically damaging, since one cannot control how other people will react to them, no matter how much they try. That being said, your life is not your own in a world like this one. That would be quite scary to me. The real world we live in already has all of the mechanisms that the mirror world has. All that is different is that the information is applied to EVERYTHING. The data and information on your social media account is not a reasonable set to draw large and personal conclusion from. When you have a real interaction and relationship with someone, you gather data based on your perception but when you are looking at someone through the lens of social media, you are only seeing what the account holder wants you to see. This shield allows people to be their fake self with relative ease. The real self is hidden. This is the case in real life as well, but it is not as easy. People psychologically cannot betray their own nature for long, and being face to face makes it much harder. Most of our communication is non-verbal, and it is this communication that is the most truthful and telling of a person. This information is not available via a social media profile, and the information that can be easily manipulated. In a world like this mirror world, one cannot be themselves, but rather you are forced to be represented by what others think.
