Gum sales have been relentlessly dropping for the past five years because people don’t look around when they wait in line to pay. On paper, smartphones are amazing pieces of glass. They have magically cured boredom as we always have something to do — those endless feeds of content are a perpetual source of inspiration, information and amusement. And yet, feeds need to die because they distort our views and disconnect us from other human beings around us. Many people have deleted the Facebook app from their phone to avoid this mindless habit. “What’s going on in my feed?” they think. Then they scroll, scroll, scroll, get bored and close the app. Repeat this process every 30 minutes. Deleting the app is the best way to take a stance and say that Facebook is a waste of time. But this idea is nothing new. Your phone battery isn’t miraculously shrinking. You’re just spending more time than ever using your phone. Flurry says that U.S. users spend nearly an hour in a Facebook app every day (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger). Imagine what you could do with all this time. It’s easy to say that you don’t have time to read books anymore. But it’s harder to justify it once you realize you spend an hour scrolling through your Facebook and Instagram feeds every day. https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/cured-tech-fatigue-ditching-feeds-143739171.html |
