Nowadays, wait for the bus to take the subway
There are people everywhere who are swiping short videos
According to the "China Good Life Survey"
Data display
Last year, 38% of the countrymen were Chinese
I love to play with my phone in my spare time
And brush short videos
It ranks first in mobile entertainment
The second is to play games and chase dramas to watch movies
According to the "2020 China Online Audiovisual Development Research Report"
The scale of online audio-visual users in China has exceeded 900 million
The number of short video users is as high as 818 million
Per capita brush short videos for up to 110 minutes a day
Short videos have become
The first weapon for people to "kill time"
A lot of people are already addicted to it
Can't stop
Why can't we stop brushing short videos?
That's because short videos are inherently an attention economy
Its mechanism is
It makes people gradually addicted and give up thinking
Short video product designers gain insight into human weaknesses
Use the logic of technology to delicately control our dopamine
Harvest our joy
Time to imprison us
We don't need to actively search
As long as the fingers keep paddling
The content of interest will continue to be pushed to the eye
And so we were gradually domesticated
Get used to being fed all kinds of information accurately
Concentration, self-control,
Ability to think, the ability to learn
As a result, there has been a sharp decline
In the course of time
Just indulge in the trap of "pacifier music"
Yet reason is deeply repulsive
Such addictive behavior
Know that you shouldn't indulge in it and affect your work life
As a result, a sense of anxiety and guilt arises
Many people are unable to extricate themselves from repeated pulls
The British writer Huxley said in Brave New World:
"It's not that people feel pain is that they replace thinking with laughter.
It's that they don't know why they're laughing.
And why stop thinking. ”
Although short videos have their own value
But if there are really signs of addiction
It is necessary to be vigilant
In addition to the platform to strengthen anti-addiction technology means
We can also proactively uninstall the relevant software
Limit the length of time the phone is used,
Close the permissions portal
Leave your phone in the living room while sleeping...
Ultimately
The cure for the root cause is still to improve self-discipline
Learn to delay gratification
Let yourself be the master of time
Another study notes:
What keeps us running efficiently is habit
Rather than self-control
So, if you want to prevent addiction
Replace bad habits with good ones
Cultivate healthier hobbies
For example, reading, painting, fitness, etc
Not really
Look at your account balance
Do you dare to continue to hold your phone?
How long do you post short videos a day?
