Screen time is making people dumb

Wake up- screen time to going to bed- screen time.

Want to know what we are doing in between that?

If you guessed more screen time, you would be correct.

It's not entirely your fault though, sort of.

We can't always get away from screen time. It's literally everywhere,

From phones, TV's, iPad's, work- it's even in your car!

Everywhere you go there is a screen.

Research is pointing in the direction of excessive, passive screen time may have a negative impact on cognitive functions.

All of this is related to attention, memory, and processing information- meaning call me Dory because where's the attention span gone?

Another term for this is brain rot. We have entered the era of brain rot. Where we no longer need to actually use our brains because why would we have to? Type a few words in and A.I can do all the work for use.

I seen a TikTok yesterday about seeing your phones stats. The stats that shows you the amount of time you’ve spent on the device in general and I’m ashamed to say I’m at 41 hours for this week. That’s a full time job without being paid.

Technology is supposed to help us become better but in the 41 plus hours I’ve spent on my phone, what have I even accomplished by using it?

I think it’s safe to say I have become addicted to the device rather than use it to my benefit. Because what do you mean I’ve spent 41 plus hours, a full time job, and I’ve earned nothing of my time.

After seeing the amount of time I’ve spent on the device I attempted to put my phone down and have no idea what to do with myself.

Is there away I can revert my addiction to my devices to profit or at least being productive?

Life span of a human at be 80 to 110 years but we spend more time enjoying doom scrolling then we do enjoying the life. Mind you it doesn’t help that doing anything today is expensive.

That is the point. Life is very expensive and in my conspiracy is that it’s done on purpose to control the population. In the life of spending 40 plus hours a week on devices I’m not even satisfied with life.

Do you know who is satisfied with life? The ones who use technology correctly and to their gain. Earns them passive income so they are able to successfully enjoy their short life.

As my day job I work with elderly people. The generation that didn’t have the technology we do. They do understand that we have to work in order to survive. If I learned anything from them it’s to follow your dreams and to go do it.

Have a dream to travel? Then go travel. It cost money to do so but if you really want to travel you will find away to do so. There is plenty of ways to make a passive income to earn money to be able to follow your bucket list, your dreams.

Technology doesn’t have to be the enemy but a crutch to enhance our life.

The short answer to; “is technology rotting our brains?” Yes, yes it is.

Are we able to take control of ourselves and take back control of technology? Yes. We already understand how the technology works. It’s time to use it to our advantage.

The real struggle would be not using technology for entertainment. Technology is so addictive. Not spending every waking moment on the phone or device and spending moments actually being productive.
