Anybody else has that eerie feeling of being into social media so much? It has become a lifestyle, a life choice. It's like you don't realize it is shaping your life already, keeping you from seeing what truly matters in your life. I don't like that feeling that I am being a slave to these things. I better exercise caution and self-control.

Even though people are complaining about how phones make us less social, do you know what most people do on phones? They talk to other people!

Great analysis and explanation of Internet addiction. I've never heard of phantom vibration syndrome before (and haven't experienced it either, luckily). I think the higher percentage of successful partnerships among those who met online is because the filtering process in online dating is much more detailed and intense, so it's unlikely for people to end up on a date with someone whose views/interests are severely incompatible.

@ericwitt4359 2 жыл бұрын

What you are saying actually is problematic for dating. Because people have more of a tendency to be very picky and judgmental on different opinions, rather than trying to work out and/or through those differences. And indeed, if I am not mistaken, relationships are much shorter than 8 years ago.

The drawings in the background of the commentary helped to visualize the information being communicated. I definitely relate to the phone vibration syndrome. If I ever hear a noise similar to vibration I always check to see if I got a notification on my phone. I was surprised to hear that drug addiction and social media addiction can be seen in the same light. "Who doesn't like talking about themselves," is not always true and could have offended those who do not like talking about themselves. To become a more effective and engaging video it could have shown real life situations that related to the five topics given. For example, a successful partnership that happened over the internet and how it evolved over the internet to lead to in person. I think it could have added The video did a great job grabbing your interest and helped to understand how social media effects your brain.

Guys, I seriously need help. I can't live a day without my phone. When I wake up, I go straight on my phone. When I go to sleep, i'm on my phone. This is really a problem. And just to add on to what ASAPscience said about this video, technology can actually take a toll on your physical appearance. If you eat something & go straight on your phone (whether it's on a bed/couch) you are gaining more fat. If your always like this, it will be difficult to burn those pounds unless you go outside everyday for at least an hour and do an exercise of some sort. Social medias can also make a person insecure because of all the hate thats been spreading. Also, seeing other people's photos & looking at yourself makes you insecure. Technology has a lot of pros, & cons too it. But seriously. I need help. Is there any advice & anything useful that will help me stop being so obsessed with technology. I really need help, this is becoming a problem.

Try just staying away from it, it's extremely easy. Turn the ringer off/to vibration mode, or just turn it off. After a while, you'll forget about it. After a few days, you'll start to grow off your phone and only check it once you get bored. That's what I do sometimes to stuff, good luck though!

How about this. Get rid of your phone and buy a simple one with limited specs? I used to rarely sit on my phone, but once I got a smartphone last summer I realized how often I'm online these days. As for your computer, you have two options: 1) cancel your internet subscription or 2) set up a timer where you only go online for an hour or three hours but once a week. Once time's up, turn off your WiFi, put your laptop in the closet, and do something else. In the first few weeks you'll experience withdrawal symptoms, but the more you adapt to your new life, the less you care about going online.

Mackenzie Hollow I'm a little late, but I hope I can still help at least a little. Once, I was grounded from my phone for a long time, a few months, actually, and it wasn't till then that I realized how much I was involved in media. When I was able to use it again, I did so, and ever so slowly, the quality of life deteriorated... I had yet another realization as to how rich my life was, how many things I was doing, how intimate my relationships were to those around me, how much more open, happy, and productive I was... Media just sucks you into a little hole that's hard to get out of. Make sure you want this-- a better life-- badly enough, and then just stop. Stop altogether. It doesn't have to be forever, just until you're ready and can control yourself again. It's hard, yes, but the outcome is so much grander and more extravagant than what could've come of settling back into bad habits. And the satisfaction, it lasts-- and it's genuine.

I am going to x-post this Quote from my own recent English Essay about the Internet, both on pessimistic and optimistic videos about social media. "The Internet and social media amplify all qualities, negative or positive. The Internet is widely an example of how “good becomes great, bad becomes worse.”" "All social media platforms are double-edged swords. All double-edged swords have a dark side, but they also have a bright side."

The number of people who use their phones all the times is astounding. I remember I got grounded during the end of the school year and I felt so lost without my phone. I didn't realize until then how many people (including myself) use their phones instead of actually communicating. I think it improved my work ethic because I didn't have anything to distract me. Anyways, this is a really great video. :)

I think a lot of what we associate as “internet addiction” is when people use the internet to escape their reality. The “instant gratification” is, I think, the biggest part. It reminds me of that scene in Inception when the Indian people go into the dream world to escape their reality; they live there. That’s similar to our internet lives, where we are immersed and find ourselves spending hours on them. Great and Informational video, as always.
