I switched to flip phone. Place your smartphone in a box or drawer and leave it at home while you're out all day. Regulate usage by night. Don't turn on in the AM. Shut off before 11 AM according to Andrew Huberman. You got this! It's a drug and everyone around me is zombified abd using like rats in a lab on sugar water. It's so sad to see. I'm going back to school to be an addictik counselor- specifically tech addiction. Please love and respect yourself enough to start regulating. Tech companies that profit off you being addicted wont help. Smartphone usage deteriorates your prefrontal cortex which greatly dimunsges your ability to feel empathy for others, think clearly, make best decisions, and you're chasing an initial dopamine hit that will never be equal in quality to the first, just like weed, alcohol, crack, heroine, etc. It really is THAT unhealthy. I love you. Tell others!!! ❤
It’s hard for me, I like calling my friends and playing games, that’s all I use tech for (for what I enjoy.) But as soon as they leave Im just in a cycle of scrolling, I always say to myself I’ll limit screen time but I just can’t. Even when I know that nature and the real world feels way better.
Great and unsuspecting talk from this youngster. Well done Maxx. It's so funny that this was recommended to me because I am addicted to similar things as mentioned, and I'm currently also developing a program for my windows desktop that automatically closes, and keeps closed, addicting software like google chrome, games and videos during certain times of the day. It will also open applications if it's something that I need to get done. What's even funnier is the fact that I know habits take a long time to form/destroy and can't just be fully integrated in one go, so I was thinking of doing a 1% reduction in bad habits every couple of days til it gets to a point where I would be in control of those bad habits, similar to Max's 1 min/day route. It is better than brute forcing, in which case one might become overwhelmed by the changes and would probably have a low success rate in the long term. I got this 1% improvement idea from the book "Atomic Habits", it's an excellent read for ideas on habit formation and destruction.
You got this, man! Try and replace some of that game time with a walk, or a nap, or anything that isn’t a screen. I’m still working on it, it is not easy. Sending you love!
Try being a middle school teacher these days. They are all addicted. Parents know but expect us to keep them off their chrome books all day, so when they get home they can be babysat by their devices until they leave for school the next day. 😢🎉🎉🎉
I think school computers should not be easily accessible. Like thirty minutes, cell phones in lockers, and confiscation if someone breaks the rules. Phone should NEVER be in class and computers should be very rare. We have books and hands on activities.
Whenever I use my cellphone, tablet or laptop computer I set a timer on my cellphone for how long I'm going to use them,if I'm going to watch a movie that last 90 minutes I just set the timer for 90 minutes, that way when my time is up, I just turn it off and leave it off all day/night long I don't like to watch TV all day long and I don't like to watch movies on my tablet/ laptop computer all day long or all night long because they will wear out the battery and the chargers.
Interesting to see a ypung kid giving this talk. The benefit of it is kids can relate to kids. Yet, this young man is GROOMED hes been able to go to a school that has taught him how to talk like this and has been taught these things. Children this age just dont jump up on stage like this and give a talk. Grooming by the rich. Yes, it's great information, but im seeing something much bigger here.
I pretty much agree with everything this kid is saying but yikes the parent propaganda is off the walls you realize you can get addicted to ""outdoor activities"" too right?? There is a problem but this is not the solution. Take it from not only common sense but from someone who is not addicted to screen time or video games (which is being intelectually dishonest co sidering thoes are Two different activitys) Also dont blame the game for you not being able to controll yourself.
What’s bad about giving kids a voice and encouraging them to think critically and try to solve problems from an early age? You can choose to watch or not, but I think it’s cool to see a kid give his perspective
@@pointlessspoon Ok so my initial response was pretty negative aswell mainly because of his 'it is bad so just quite' analogy but after listening to this whole talk he actually provides somewhat of a roadmap on how to get there. Pretty decent talk overall
This is what it's come to... I'm so addicted that I'm watching a kid who was probably born in 2010 talk about how to put my phone down
Omg... you, too?
@@NobodySomebodyToo at least we're in this together.

Gotta admit he nailed it
Great job. I’ll make my son watch your TED talk. Motivation to break gadget addiction is different when it comes from a fellow kid.
You are the one who is letting your kid use the internet and you can limit it.
Great young guy. I really admire him. Maxx keep on going you are well ahead of your age. ❤

I think the reason most people love technology is because technology mostly does what you tell it to do, and it's a way of escaping the real world.
well, this was definitely something i needed to hear today. thank you :)
Very intelligent young man, wish him the best!
Great Job Maxx. Well structured with a lot of content.
He absolutely Crushed it!
As an adddict myselfthis is vedy informative ❤ thank you

You work mate 👍
what an awesome kid
My son is always addicted to gadgets and he never changes.
Other than maybe the first one all other "are you addicted" questions are a big NO, good thing im not addicted to tech
i wanna go back to 1990
I withdrew into the Xbox and alienated myself from any real life friends long ago. Trying to do this alone has been impossible 😕

What’s the app called
Guys, how can I help Ogma, the game admin of Renaissance Kingdoms, to get some time off from her computer and all her 20 phones?
Internet is not wrong thing, we just dont know how to use it properly
💯
I do use the Internet properly,I just know when to say I've had enough of using technology.

What lol ty
Stop your imagination / don't using at here non Muslims
No.
The Ted brand is really going downhill.

Also keep in mind this is TedX, which is independently run by communities, vs Ted talks which are directly run and curated by Ted
