Transcript
00:11Did you really sleep at 11 p.m.? No. 11 p.m. is when you declare to yourself that you
00:17have
00:17gone to bed till 1 a.m. in the night. It was Instagram. Usage statistics of social media
00:24among the youth very clearly bring out this aspect. Young people are most active
00:30on social media two hours before and two hours after midnight. When data first
00:37started becoming available these companies they came up with plans that
00:42made data cheaper between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. and it worked for them. What are all
00:49the young people doing? And I do not really suppose that that data is being
00:54consumed in self-development and gaining internal illumination. When I look at the
01:00pages, the profiles, the channels, the worst quality ones have the maximum
01:05traffic. That's where the youth of India is spending its time. First of all your
01:11time is not going into something you'd want it to be devoted to. Secondly you
01:17are empowering all kinds of worthless and very mediocre people. It's a double geo
01:24party.
