    I think for a lot of people it’s less about escaping boredom than it is about quieting anxiety-the anxiety of being in a tumultuous world of which we are probably more aware than any previous generation thanks to technology, omnipresent controversy-fueled media, and constant, dispiriting-to-infuriating political conversation and contextualizing; anxiety of the pressures of inheriting a broken world made out of bullshit. Young people are scared and upset. They need to watch videos and talk to “friends” to dull the constant ache of thought. A symptom of the mindfulness necessary to survive in the modern world has become a constant pull to find the quickest escape route, even to the detriment of that survival. You can’t BE “bored”. You’re not allowed anymore. You don’t have time. You’ve gotta gear up to pay your bills, save the world, and never retire.

Sure, tech vegetables are a problem. But it not the technology integration with our lifestyle that's a problem, is how some people approach it. Education is the key to most of our society's problems, including this one

    Why exactly are the phones the bad thing?
    We have computers in personal use since the 70's, these people don't have this problem?
    Should you really draw a correlation here?

    • @natalija3631
      @natalija3631 6 років тому +3

      yes but now, more then ever, everyone is constatly using some kind of tech. It can be an ipad, phone, laptop, pc or pretty much anything. there is sooo many possibilities today and thi gs you can do with them that there is pretty much no reason to ever get off of them which wasnt the case in 70'. Like this dude said, we arent allowing us to become "bored."
      he doesnt literally mean bored. its a metaphor for the time when you dont have anything to do and let your mind fly away for a bit and think about stuff, important stuff. People are simply not wondering away anymore and thats bad because "geting bored" is what gives you ideas.

    • @kristaj428
      @kristaj428 6 років тому

      Bastet-Chan think about it this way they had computers but the internet didn't exist until the 90's and then all you had was dialup for a while that horrible thing that tied up phone lines or would get knocked off if the phone was picked up. It wasn't until WiFi and non dialup connections existed that technology became a large issue. Upgrades created more capable technology, and now finding a definition or answering a question is as simple as a google search. No thesaurus,dictionary, almanac, or encyclopedia reading.

    Technology has taken over in a brutal way. Technology overuse has multitudes of consequences:
    1. It impacts how we interact in social situations
    2. It causes the brain to react the same way as it would with additions, such as alcohol, gambling, drugs
    3. It affects our IQ
    4. It causes significant rates of suicide- I've heard stories of suicides stemming from social media.
    5. It increases anxiety and depression, which is more prevalent than ever
    6. It takes away our ability to come up with ideas and our ability to have answers to questions without looking up on Google.
    7. It can cause arguments with family and friends from the overuse

    As someone that’s had a phone most of their life and is an artist studying Visual Arts I can safely say this information on affecting creativity is false. In fact it’s reversed. The internet allows you to access all sorts of concepts and ideas that would take much longer to extract from external sources. More exposure means more experience which allows you to better press the envelope and think outside the box. These people are forgetting that the internet is the largest database of knowledge period. If used properly it can aid any skill. However the physical repercussions I will not argue.
    But yea calling BS on the creativity thing. If you think your phone is preventing you from being creative you were too stupid to be creative in the first place.
